June Renate Pedersen (born 3 April 1985) is a Norwegian former footballer who played as a defender. During her career, Pedersen won three caps for the Norway women's national football team.

Club career

[edit]

In December 2005, Swedish national champions Umeå IK signed Pedersen from Norwegian second tier club IK Grand Bodø.[1] She was a substitute in all four legs of Umeå's UEFA Women's Cup final defeats in 2007 and 2008.[2] She was part of Umeå when the team won the 2007 Swedish Championship.[3] With her playing opportunities decreasing at Umeå, Pedersen moved to Damallsvenskan rivals Piteå in December 2008.[4][5][6] Pedersen was part of the Piteå team that won the Swedish Championship in 2018, the first in the club's history.[7] In 2020, after ten years on the team, she left Piteå to join Hammarby Fotboll on a two-year contract with the option of an additional year.[8]

International career

[edit]

On 17 September 2015, she made her debut for the Norway senior national team during a match against Scotland at the age of 30.[9] A week later, she earned her first start playing in the left-back position against Kazakhstan during Norway's first UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying match.[10] She has also played for the Sápmi women's national football team.[11]
