The UEFA Women's EURO 2022 takes place in England this summer from July 6 to July 31. 

Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir is no stranger to success. We at 66°north are proud to have her as one of our ambassadors. A midfield orchestrator for the Icelandic women‘s national team, she will lead Iceland out in the EURO 2022 tournament this summer. Sara Björk gave birth to her child and has returned to the pitch stronger than ever. Italian champions Juventus signed Sara this summer, and she left powerhouse Lyon with a parting gift – the Champions League trophy. 

Sara will take to the field for a record fourth time at the EUROs this summer. 2009, 2013, 2017, and finally 2022. Iceland has been handed a tough group with France, Italy, and Belgium. Nonetheless, we know that the Icelandic nation will be glued to the TV and that Sara Björk and Our girls (as they are affectionately nicknamed) will do us proud.
