Petur Knudsen (born 21 April 1998) is a Faroese professional footballer who plays as a forward for NSÍ and the Faroe Islands national team.[2]

Club career

[edit]

On 30 June 2021, Knudsen signed a two-year deal with newly relegated Danish 1st Division club Lyngby Boldklub.[3][4] He won promotion to the Danish Superliga in his first season with the club,[5] making 26 total appearances in which he scored eight goals.[2] Knudsen left Lyngby at the end of the 2022–23 season, as his contract wasn't renewed.[6] After some time without a club, Knudsen was announced as a new player for USL Championship club El Paso Locomotive on a one-year deal with the option of a one-year extension. This transfer made Petur Knudsen the first ever Faroese footballer to play professionally in the United States.[7] On 1 November 2023, it was announced that Knudsen would not be returning for the 2024 season.[8] He returned to his first club, NSÍ Runavík, in 2024.

International career

[edit]

Knudsen made his international debut for Faroe Islands on 28 March 2021 in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Austria, which finished as a 3–1 away loss.[9] He scored his first goal for the Faroes in a 4-1 loss to Estonia at the 2024 Baltic Cup.

Personal life

[edit]

Knudsen is the son of former Faroese international footballer Jens Martin Knudsen.[10]

Petur Knudsen works daily with his father Jens Martin Knudsen and his brother Aron Knudsen at the fish factory Vaðhorn in Strendur. [11]
