Andrea Celeste Thorisson Díaz (born 14 March 1998) is an Icelandic footballer who plays as a forward for FC Rosengård. She has an Icelandic father and a Peruvian mother.[1]

Club career

In October 2015, Thorisson made her Damallsvenskan debut for FC Rosengård in a 3–0 home win over Umeå IK. She was an 87th-minute substitute for Marta.[2] Thorisson was one of six youth players to be given a first-team contract by Rosengård in December 2015.[3]

International career

When Thorisson was 12 years old she played well in a match against a touring Icelandic team. Her father told the opposition coach of her Icelandic heritage and the coach passed the information on to the Football Association of Iceland. Later Thorrison was approached to play for Iceland's youth national team through her Rosengård team-mates Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir and Þóra Björg Helgadóttir. Thorrison has also trained with Sweden's youth national teams at Bosön and as of 2016 remained undecided about which national team to represent at senior level.[4]
