Andrias Edmundsson (born 18 December 2000) is a Faroese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Hellas Verona and the Faroe Islands national team.[1][2][3]
Career
Andrias started his career at hometown club B68 Toftir, making his debut at age 17 in a 6–1 Faroe Islands Cup loss to Víkingur Gøta.[4] He joined the Sunderland youth academy in 2017. In 2020, he joined Águilas on a free transfer,[5] and spent three years at the club. On 26 July 2023, Andrias joined Polish third division club Chojniczanka Chojnice on a one-year deal, with an extension option for another year.[6]
On 20 June 2024, he moved to Wisła Płock on a two-year deal, with an option for a further year with which he gained promotion from I liga to the Ekstraklasa.[7]
On 2 February 2026, Verona and Wisla Plock reached an agreement, and Andrias was unveiled as a new signing, becoming the first Faroese player to play in Seria A. According to Wisla Plock, Andrias was sold for a reported 2,5 million Euros, making him the most expensive Faroese footballer by far. [8][9] He made his debut four days later, playing the entire match in a goalless draw against Pisa.[10]
International career
Andrias made his senior international debut for the Faroe Islands national team on 19 November 2022, in a 1–1 draw with Kosovo.
