Hólmfríður "Frida" Magnúsdóttir (born 20 September 1984) is an Icelandic footballer who plays for Avaldsnes IL in Norway. She plays as a left winger or as an attacking midfielder. Hólmfríður is part of Iceland's national team and represented her country at the 2009 and 2013 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship.

Club career

At the 2009 WPS International Draft, Hólmfríður was picked fifth by the Philadelphia Independence, one of two expansion teams entering Women's Professional Soccer (WPS). She was often deployed as a left back by coach Paul Riley and made 31 appearances in two seasons with the Independence, scoring four goals.

During her second season, 2011, Hólmfríður struggled with fitness after being injured and was allowed to move back to Iceland with Valur. Philadelphia brought her back for 2012, but the league folded before the campaign began. Instead Hólmfríður accepted a contract from ambitious Norwegian club Avaldsnes IL, then languishing in the First Division.

International career

Hólmfríður made her senior international debut for Iceland in a 1–0 friendly defeat to the United States on 16 February 2003.

In Iceland's UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying play-off against Ireland, Hólmfríður scored in the first minute of the first leg in Dublin. At the final tournament, she played in all three group matches as Iceland were eliminated in the first round.
