Randi Skylvsdóttir Wardum (born 22 November 1986) is a Faroese football goalkeeper for KÍ Klaksvík in the Faroese 1. deild kvinnur. Since 2004, she has represented the Faroe Islands women's national football team at senior international level. In addition to football, Wardum plays handball for Kyndil.

Club career

In April 2008 Wardum signed for Icelandic Úrvalsdeild champions Valur.[2] She became the first female footballer from the Faroe Islands to play for a foreign club.[3] In September 2008 she was in the Valur team who retained their title with an 8–0 win over Stjarnan.[4]

Wardum has made 25 appearances for KÍ in the UEFA Women's Champions League, formerly known as the UEFA Women's Cup.

International career

The Faroe Islands Football Association (FSF) relaunched their senior women's national team in 2004 after an eight year hiatus. Wardum kept goal in their first match, a 2–1 friendly defeat to Ireland.[5] The match was staged in Klaksvík on 12 October 2004, the day before the nations' senior men's teams met at Lansdowne Road, Dublin.

She played in all five games as the Faroe Islands won the football tournament at the 2005 Island Games in Shetland.[6]

In 2012, Wardum and her KÍ teammates Malena Josephsen and Rannvá B. Andreasen simultaneously became the first Faroese women to win 25 caps.[7]

Wardum is also an accomplished handballer. She has played, outfield, for Kyndil and been part of the Faroe Islands women's national handball team.[8]
