Early life

Cecilía started playing football around the age of 6 with Afturelding. At the age of 10, she started playing as a goalkeeper.[1]

Club career

Cecilía started her senior career with Afturelding/Fram, a joint team off Afturelding and Knattspyrnufélagið Fram, in 2017 in the 2. deild kvenna where she helped the team finish first.[2] In 2018, she played 13 matches in the second-tier Inkasso league and was named the league's Best Young Player by opposing coaches and team captains.[3] After the season, in October 2018, she signed with Fylkir which had won promotion from the Inkasso league to the top-tier Úrvalsdeild kvenna.[4] She had a great start with Fylkir in the beginning of the season,[5][6] including an outstanding performance when Fylkir unexpectedly knocked out the reigning Cup holders, Breiðablik, in the Icelandic Cup.[7]

International career

In August 2019, Cecilía was selected to the Icelandic national team for the first time by head coach Jón Þór Hauksson[8] ahead of its UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches.[9] On 4 March 2020, she started her first match in a 1–0 victory against Northern Ireland.[10]

gollark: Isn't that only for bytes, though?
gollark: Consider, however: This iterates over the changed touches as well, but it looks in our cached touch information array for the previous information about each touch to determine the starting point for each touch's new line segment to be drawn. This is done by looking at each touch's Touch.identifier property. This property is a unique integer for each touch and remains consistent for each event during the duration of each finger's contact with the surface.
gollark: If there is I haven't seen it.
