Christine Colombo Nilsen (born April 30, 1982) is a Norwegian football goalkeeper. She currently plays for Lyon. She is also a member of the Norway women's national football team.
She has appeared six times for the national team and made her debut on March 11, 2006 in a match against Finland. She was a member of the 2007 Women's World Cup squad.
On June 9, 2008 Nilsen was named to the Norwegian roster for the 2008 Summer Olympics to be held in Beijing, China. [1]
Nilsen left Olympique Lyonnaise in July 2010 and returned to Norway with no plans to continue in football. But she was persuaded to stand in goal for Arna-Bjørnar for a few games in the autumn while Erika Skarbø was injured, and was also a member of the Norway national squad that in September qualified for the 2011 World Cup.
