Club career

At present (2010) Pedersen plays and captains the Norwegian club Stabæk, as a result of Stabæk taking over the bankrupt club Asker FK at the end of 2008.

Most of Pedersen's club football has been played outside Denmark. During 2002 and 2003 she played for the English professional club Fulham Ladies, from where she moved to Norway to join the Toppserien club IF Fløya based in Tromsø. After two seasons there she moved to spend the 2006 season playing in Stockholm, Sweden for the Damallsvenskan club Djurgården-Älfvsjö. For the 2007 season she moved back to Norway to play for Asker SK in Oslo, and stayed there during 2008.

International career

Katrine Pedersen was in her national team in the 2005 UEFA Women's Championship in England, and captained it in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 in China. She also played in earlier World Cup competitions in 1995 (as an 18-year-old) and 1999. Her total of 173 international appearances is 44 more than her countryman, Peter Schmeichel.

Personal life

Pedersen works as a teacher and football trainer at a high-school in Oslo. In May 2011 her autobiography, 'Katrine', was published in Denmark.[1]
