In 2011, she moved to Kristianstads DFF following Saarbrücken's relegation. She missed the 2020 season due to being pregnant with her second child.[3] She returned to the court in April 2021[4] in her first competitive game since October 2019.[5]

In October 2021, Sif announced that she was moving to Iceland after 12 years playing abroad.[6]

Sif is currently part of Iceland's national team and competed in the UEFA Women's Championships in 2009 and 2013.

She made her senior national team debut in a 2–1 defeat to Italy at the Algarve Cup in March 2007.

On January 23, 2018, Sif played her seventieth game for the national team, the same number of games her father played for the men's national team.[7]

Personal life[]

Sif is the daughter of Atli Eðvaldsson, former captain and coach of the men's national team. She was born in Germany while her father was playing professionally for Fortuna Düsseldorf.[8]

Her brother Emil Atlason is also a footballer who plays for KR and the Iceland national under-21 football team,[9] while sister Sara Atladóttir played for FH and the women's under-17 and under-19 national teams.[10] Uncle Jóhannes "Shuggy" Eðvaldsson played for Celtic.
