Maria Thorisdottir (born June 5, 1993 in Elverum , Norway ) is a Norwegian soccer player who has played for Chelsea LFC since the 2017/18 season and for the Norwegian women's national soccer team since 2015 .

Career

Thorisdottir is the daughter of the Icelandic handball player and current coach of the Norwegian women's national handball team Þórir Hergeirsson .

societies

Thorisdottir has played for the first division club Klepp IL since 2010, with whom she reached seventh place as the best placements in 2010 and 2013 and in 2013 narrowly escaped relegation to the second division. In the summer of 2017 she moved to England to Chelsea LFC , where she plays alongside her national team captain Maren Mjelde , and won the 2017/2018 double there . In the 2017/18 UEFA Women's Champions League , she made it to the semi-finals with the Chelsea Ladies, where they lost 3-1 and 2-0 to VfL Wolfsburg . In 2018/19 the semi-finals were also reached, where Olympique Lyon were one goal better. Due to an injury, she was only used in the round of 32.

National teams

Thorisdottir went through all Norwegian junior teams and took part with the U-17 team in the qualification and the finals of the U-17 European Women's Football Championship 2009 in Nyon , in which Norway came fourth.

A year later, she failed in the second qualifying round for the U-17 European Women's Football Championship in 2010 against Germany. At the 2011 U-19 European Football Championship for women , she reached the final with her team, but lost it 8-1 to Germany. By reaching the semi-finals, however, the Norwegians had already qualified for the 2012 U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan . In September, she and her team qualified for the 2012 U-19 European Women's Football Championship at a mini-tournament in Bulgaria for the second round. In this, which was held in April 2012 and in which Norway failed to Portugal, she did not take part. In August 2012 she took part in the World Cup with the U-20 team and reached the quarter-finals. There she met Germany again. Although they only conceded half as many goals as in the European Championship final, they didn't score any themselves, which ended the World Cup for Norway.

After that, her international career came to a standstill and only three years later she played two games for the U-23 team and then on March 6, 2015 at the Algarve Cup 2015 against Iceland for her first A international match, two more further missions including the placement game against Denmark followed. On April 23, 2015, she was appointed to the preliminary squad of 35 players for the 2015 World Cup. On May 14, she was nominated for the final squad. Then she played the test match with the senior national team against Belgium on May 23, which was the first time they lost to Belgium, and on May 27 a game with the U-23 team against England, which was won 3-0 and in addition to her goalkeeper Cecilie Hauståker Fiskerstrand and Lisa-Marie Utland from the World Cup squad were used.

At the World Cup, she was in the starting eleven in the group matches against Germany and Ivory Coast and played 90 minutes each. In the round of 16, lost 1: 2 to England , she was substituted on in the second half when the score was 0: 0. By losing the last 16, the direct qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games was missed. The Norwegians still had the chance to secure the last European starting place in the qualifying tournament for the 2016 Olympic Games . For this tournament, in which the Norwegians failed, she was just as neglected as for other games in 2016.

It was not until the Algarve Cup 2017 that it was used again in three games. The Norwegians could only win the game for 11th place against host Portugal , which meant the worst placement in the tournament's history for the Norwegians. She was now used regularly again and played two games at the 2017 European Championship . The Norwegians remained without a goal for the first time and were eliminated as the bottom of the group.

In the subsequent qualification for the 2019 World Cup , she was one of the eight Norwegians who played all eight qualifying games. In the end, they were group winners before European champions Netherlands . Between the qualifying games, she scored her only international goal to date in a 3-0 win over Scotland on January 19, 2018 .

After the successful World Cup qualification, she was used in the penultimate game of the year, a 1: 2 defeat against Sweden , but then due to injury only again in the 0: 1 defeat against New Zealand on April 9th . So she missed victory at the Algarve Cup 2019 . On May 2, she was nominated for the 2019 World Cup and thus her second World Cup. At the World Cup, she was used in the five Norwegian games. With a 3-0 defeat against England in the quarter-finals, she and her team were eliminated and thus also missed the 2020 Olympic Games .
