Club career

Line grew up in Aalborg, Denmark and featured for her hometown club AaB throughout her youth career, except from a short stint to B52/Aalborg FC. As part of her studies at university, Line went to London for a semester where she played for Watford Ladies FC in the Women's Premier League. Upon her return to Denmark, she made a move to Fortuna Hjørring but soon left the club and returned to AaB in search for more game time at senior level.

Master studies then opened an internship opportunity in Melbourne and Line made the move down under and joined Box Hill United SC in the Victorian Women's Premier League. It earned her a starting spot with the FFV WPL All Stars team and a train-on spot with Melbourne Victory in the W-League. An offer from the University of Queensland FC in the South East Queensland Women's Premier League saw her make the move to Brisbane where she had a successful season with the team. [2] She returned to Denmark and joined Team Viborg in the Danish Elitedivisionen. [3] [4] In January 2015, she received her first offer of a full-time professional contract with Amazon Grimstad FK in Norwegian Toppserien. She played the full season at the club and spent her second pro year with Vålerenga IF in Norwegian Toppserien.

With the ambition of making it into the Danish Euro squad, she made a move home to Vejle Boldklub and amateur football for the spring of 2017. The gamble paid off in a spot as the third-choice goalkeeper with the Danish Euro team in July 2017 [5] and later earned her the professional contract with Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC in Swedish Damallsvenskan from August 2017.

International career

Line has been involved with the national team since early 2015. She made her first international appearance for the Danish National Team on 28 January 2016 in a friendly against Netherlands. [6] Line was capped three times and was part of the Danish squad that finished second in the UEFA European Championship 2017. [5]

Jutland Series is the highest division for men organized by the regional association DBU Jylland and one of the fifth-highest divisions overall in the Danish football league system. The Jutland Association Football Championship was introduced in 1902. At the introduction of the championship, the tournament was placed at the top of the Danish football league system, but has since been moved to its current status as the fifth best level in Danish football, after a short period as the sixth best level, below the Denmark Series at the fourth level.

The Danish football league system, also known as the football league pyramid, refers to the hierarchically interconnected league structure for association football in Denmark, in which all divisions are bound together by the principle of promotion and relegation. Within men's association football, the top two professional levels contain one division each. Below this, the semi-professional and amateur levels have progressively more parallel divisions, which each cover progressively smaller geographic areas. The top four tiers are classed as nationwide, while the fifth tier and below are classed provincial leagues. Teams that finish at the top of their division at the end of each season can rise higher in the pyramid, while those that finish at the bottom find themselves sinking further down. In theory it is possible for even the lowest local amateur club to rise to the top of the system and become Danish football champions one day. The number of teams promoted and relegated between the divisions varies, and promotion to the upper levels of the pyramid is usually contingent on meeting additional criteria, especially concerning appropriate facilities and finances.
