Zigiotti Olme was "in shock" to be called up to the senior Sweden national team in September 2018. She was pleased that one of the opponents were Italy, as her mother is Italian. Zigiotti Olme was a childhood Juventus F.C. supporter, and she idolised Alessandro Del Piero.[2] In May 2019 she was selected by Sweden for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3]
