Laufey Sigurðardóttir (born 27 January 1963) is an Icelandic former multi-sport athlete who was a member of the Iceland national teams in badminton, football and handball. A prominent goalscorer in football, she led the Icelandic top-tier league in goals scored in 1983 and 1991.[1]
Laufey started her senior team career with Íþróttabandalag Akraness (ÍA) in 1973. She led the Icelandic top-tier league in scoring in 1983[2] and helped the team to back-to-back national championships in 1984 and 1985. On 21 July 1983, she scored 8 goals in a 12–1 win against Víðir Garður.[3]
Laufey played for SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 during the 1985–1986 season.[4] [5] An injury in the DFB-Pokal final on 3 May 1986 cut her season short and she was forced to miss the rest of the West Germany championship where her team finished second.[6] [7] She returned to ÍA prior to the 1987 season[8] where she had a hot start, scoring 7 goals in the first 6 matches and helped the team win the national championship. Following the season, she signed with Stjarnan.[9] After one season with Stjarnan, she moved to Kansas City in the United States where she played for Gino Shiraldis and Hurray.[5]
She returned to ÍA in 1991 and took the league by a storm, leading it in goals scored and was named the Player of the Year in 1991 while helping the club win the Icelandic Cup.[5] [10]
After initially planning on sitting out the 1992 season following the birth of her first child,[11] she signed Stjarnan in July 1992.[12] After two seasons with Stjarnan, Laufey returned again to ÍA in 1994. Following the 1997 season, she played sporadically with the club until finally retiring for good in 2003.[5]
