Elísa Viðarsdóttir (born 26 May 1991) is an Icelandic footballer who plays as a defender in the Úrvalsdeild for Valur and the Iceland women's national football team. She is the younger sister of Margrét Lára Viðarsdóttir, Iceland's record goalscorer.[1] Like Margrét Lára, she began her career with Úrvalsdeild club ÍBV.
Club career
[edit]She has played for ÍBV since 2007 with her first league match coming in 2008.
Kristianstads DFF, the Swedish club where Margrét Lára was playing, gave a trial to Elísa before the start of their 2013 Damallsvenskan season. During Elísa's visit she played in a pre-season friendly but Kristianstads had no immediate plans to sign her to a contract.[2] She eventually transferred to Kristianstads in January 2014, by which time Margrét Lára had gone on maternity leave.[3]
In November 2015, she returned to play in the Úrvalsdeild when she signed a contract with Valur.[4]
International career
[edit]Elísa's senior international debut came at the 2012 Algarve Cup, in a 1–0 defeat to Germany.[5]
She was called up to be part of the national team for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[6]
