Career

society

Nyborg won the Norwegian Women's Championship and the Norwegian Women's Football Cup three times with Asker SK . She was also Danish and Japanese cup winners with Fortuna Hjørring and Nikko .

National team

Nyborg played on July 7, 1978 at the age of 18, their first international match in the 1: 2 against Sweden in the fifth Nordic football championship . It was also the Norwegian women's first international match. She was immediately a regular player and now took part in all international matches counted by the Norwegian Association. She scored her first international goal on July 8, 1979 in a 4-2 draw against Denmark in the 1979 Nordic Women's Football Championship . At the Nordic women's football championships , however, the Norwegians never got beyond third place. The championships were dominated by Danes and Swedes who had already started with international matches against each other a few years earlier. Even when the Nordic championship was replaced by the European championship , as more and more European women's national teams started international matches, the Norwegians failed to qualify for the 1984 European championship against Sweden.

The Norwegians then successfully completed the qualification for the EM 1987 and were allowed to host the finals. It was here that they won their first major title when they defeated the Swedes 2-1 in the final, which is the first time. In the first 49 games she had played with Kari Nielsen , the 50th game on March 1, 1988 was the first without the 10 months older Kari, who had ended her international career at the 49th, and since then Gunn has been the sole Norwegian record holder .

In 1988 she won the unofficial World Cup with Norway by beating Sweden 1-0 in the final. A year later, the Norwegians lost their European Championship title to Germany , which developed into the new superpower in European women's football and against which they lost in the final for the first time, creating a new rivalry. Two years later they again lost the European Championship final against Germany and also lost the final at the first official women's World Cup , but against the USA . The World Cup final was her 100th international match . She was the first ever player - the date of the 100th game is known - to do so and in recognition of this she received the final ball from FIFA President João Havelange and Pelé . Until then, she was the only Norwegian player to have never missed a Norwegian game. She also played the next ten games. Then ended on October 10, 1992 with a 3-0 win against the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the European Championship qualification, their national team career. In the second leg, also won 3-0 on November 7, 1992, she sat on the bench for the first time, but was not used. She remained the record holder with 110 international matches until March 18, 1994 and was then replaced by Heidi Støre . In the meantime, eleven Norwegians have played more international matches than they do and there are 202 players worldwide (as of September 19, 2016).

In 1994 she was the only Norwegian woman to receive the Order of Merit , FIFA's highest honor.

Player-coach

After her active time, she trained the Madison Freeze in Wisconsin , USA and played for Liungen IF , with whom she rose to the top series in 2000 and played two league games in 2001 at the age of 41. But the club immediately got down again. In 2004 she received another yellow card in a game of the second team .
