Career & Clubs
After a spell in Denmark with Vorup FB, Edda enrolled at the University of Richmond and played college soccer for the Richmond Spiders. From 2009 until 2012 Edda, a box-to-box midfielder, played club football in Sweden for KIF Örebro DFF. Along with Ólína Guðbjörg Viðarsdóttir, she moved to Chelsea Ladies of the English FA WSL in January 2013. An interview Edda gave in May 2013 revealed that club rules prevented Ladies players from talking to their male clubmates, unless the male player had initiated the conversation. In July the duo left Chelsea to sign for Valur in their homeland.
When national team coach Siggi Eyjólfsson named his Iceland squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in June 2013, Edda was conspicuously absent from the list.
