Why Fridolina Rolfö now favours second-hand clothes

As Rolfö explains her desire to be more than just an athlete on the pitch, she also talks about her personal taste for clothes and how living in Barcelona has changed her style. ‘’At the end of the day, I’m still a Scandinavian girl, even though I live here in Barcelona now. So I like classic brands like Cos and Arket, and there are other Danish designer brands that I really like, such as Ganni, which is one of my favourites. I really like colours and they know how to combine them well.’’

‘’Lately, I’ve been trying to be more conscious and buy in vintage stores,’’ says Rolfö. ‘’The older I get, the more I’m interested in how I can be a better person, how I can help the environment and how I can contribute more to this world. That’s why I now favour second-hand, and it’s also a lot of fun.’’

On the pitch, the footballer also tries to be an inspiration. When she was little, she never saw a clear path towards playing football professionally and hopes she can now be a role model for girls who love football. ‘’So much has happened that it’s hard for me to look back on my history and recognise the path that led me here,’’ says Rolfö. ‘’When I was a little girl, for example, I never thought I would become a footballer. I thought I would have to work around football, maybe become a photographer or commentate on games, because I didn’t think I could play professionally. That’s crazy. When I think about it now and get angry, I wonder why I didn’t think of that. At the same time, I’m also glad to have experienced this process, because it was really interesting to see the differences today.’’
