Career[edit]

Valborg Østerø has played her entire senior career in B36 Tórshavn. She became goalkeeper by coincidence in her late teens, and soon revealed that she had an extraordinary talent.

In 2022 she was in the center of a rare act of fairplay. In a match against NSÍ Runavík the referee gave her a red card for picking up the ball outside the penalty area. When the NSÍ players perpared to take the following freekick they told the referee that he had made a mistake by giving the freekick and the red card. Then the referee decided to reverse his decision. He took back the red card, and converted the freekick to a drop ball.[2]

International career[edit]

Valborg Østerø made her international debut for the Faroe Islands women's team on 20 February 2022 in a friendly match against Gibraltar, which finished in a 1–0 victory.[3] She is currently reserve keeper on the Faroe Islands women's team.
