Finnur Justinussen (born 30 March 1989) is a Faroese footballer who plays for Víkingur Gøta and the Faroe Islands national football team.
He began his career with local club GÍ Gøta. After GÍ Gøta and Leirvík ÍF merged in 2008, he played for the newly formed club Víkingur. He scored 19 goals in the 2009 season, making him the league top goalscorer.[1] During the 2010 season he scored 7 league goals and 3 in the Faroese Cup. In 2011, he was top scorer again, with 21 goals.[2] Having previously been on trials with Swedish Allsvenskan clubs Örebro SK and Trelleborgs FF, Finnur trialed with Superettan club Jönköpings Södra IF in late 2011. After impressing on trial he signed a permanent deal with the club in early 2012.[3] In 2013, he returned to Víkingur ahead of the 2013 season.
On 9 October 2015, Justinussen joined Danish 2nd Division-side Fremad Amager.[4] Finnur was loaned out to Næstved BK from January 2018 to June 2018, and then signed permanently for the club.[5] He left the club on 29 January 2019 by mutual termination, because the trip from Copenhagen - where he lived - to Næstved, was too time-consuming.[6] Afterwards, he joined IF Føroyar in Amager.[7]
On 24 July 2019 it was announced that Justinussen had joined FC Roskilde.[8] After only three months, on 25 October, he left the club by mutual agreement.[9]
