Freja Siri Margareta Olofsson (born 24 May 1998) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Real Madrid in the Primera Iberdrola.

Club career[edit]

Olofsson began her professional career with KIF Orebro, making 69 appearances for the Swedish club. After tearing her ACL after seven appearances with Arna-Bjørnar, Olofsson returned in 2020 with KIF and scored twice in 21 appearances.[citation needed]

She signed a one-year contract with National Women's Soccer League club Racing Louisville FC in 2021, starting 20 league matches in her first season. She signed a three-year contract with Racing Louisville in May 2022, but started only 9 league matches in her second season before being transferred under new manager Kim Björkegren.[2]

On 7 September 2022, Racing announced the transfer of Olofsson to Real Madrid four months into her three-year contract with Racing, in exchange for an undisclosed transfer fee.[3]
