Club career

Lykke Borg began playing football aged five in her hometown Højby. [1] In 2007, she attended Rollins College in Florida and played NCAA college soccer. [2]

Following a successful UEFA European Championship 2013 tournament with Denmark, Lykke Borg secured a transfer from Brøndby to FCR 2001 Duisburg. She had compiled three Elitedivisionen titles and four Danish Women's Cups in her time with Brøndby. [3] In 2016 Lykke Borg transferred to Kristianstads DFF, after playing in Odense's first three matches of the Danish season. [4]

Early in 2017 she moved back to Denmark in order to be closer to her family and friends. She chose to play for KoldingQ without a wage even though she had offers from clubs in other countries. During UEFA European Championship 2017 she told the media that she was a better goalkeeper when she was living close to her family and friends. She studied to be a physiotherapist and had to work beside playing football and studying. During the Euro 2017 the Danish football association paid her wage as she could not work during the tournament. [5]

She stopped her professional career in 2018, but she went back in June 2020 after pregnancy, to play for HB Køge. [6] In February 2021 she returned to KoldingQ in a new role as a "keeperkonsulent " (English: goalkeeper consultant). [7] She made another playing comeback with the club in August 2021. [8]

International career

She was called into the Denmark squad for UEFA European Championship 2005 as an uncapped player. [9] At the 2011 Algarve Cup she made her first senior national team appearance, in a 3–1 defeat by Sweden.

After a knee injury to regular goalkeeper Heidi Johansen, Lykke Borg was elevated to first choice for UEFA European Championship 2013. [10] In Denmark's opening group match against hosts Sweden she saved two second half penalty kicks from Lotta Schelin and Kosovare Asllani, respectively, to secure a 1–1 draw. [11]

Denmark progressed to the quarter-finals on the drawing of lots, where they shocked France in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw. Lykke Borg stopped Louisa Nécib's kick in the shoot-out, after narrowly failing to keep out the same player's penalty goal during the match. [12] Denmark's run came to an end in the semi-final when they lost another penalty shoot-out to Norway.

Lykke Borg remained the first choice goalkeeper at UEFA European Championship 2017, and saved a penalty from Caroline Graham Hansen in Denmark's 1–0 group stage win over Norway. [13] She also saved twice in the penalty shoot-out win over Austria in the semi-final. [14] Lykke Borg started in the UEFA European Championship 2017 final, which Denmark lost 4–2 to hosts the Netherlands.

In June 2018, Lykke Borg retired from international football following a 5–1 2019 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 4 win over Hungary in Viborg. [15]
