Súni Olsen (born March 7, 1981) is a Faroese professional football defender who currently plays at Faroes side B36 Tórshavn.

Club career

He started his career at Faroese club GÍ Gøta and, after a successful 2000 season in which he scored 13 league goals, moved to Dutch side FC Zwolle in 2001 to become the second Faroese international to play in the Netherlands after Jan Allan Müller played for Go Ahead Eagles in 1990/1991. He returned to GÍ in 2002, and after a prolific amount of goals for a midfield player, he attracted the attention of Danish team AaB, where he was later joined with Faroese team mate Jón Rói Jacobsen. In 2008, he was allowed to leave to Viborg on a free transfer after failing to break into the first team squad at Aalborg.

International career

Olsen made his debut in a January 2001 friendly match against Sweden, coming on as a substitute for Sámal Joensen. He played magnificently against Estonia in a friendly in Summer 2008, scoring one goal and making two assists, bringing the Faroe Islands level, after being 3-0 down at half time.
