Gullbrandur í Horni Øregaard (born 1 January 2001) is a Faroese footballer who plays as a centre-back for Sandnes Ulf, which he also captains.

Career

Øregaard played for Forus og Gausel as a child, shifting to another Stavanger club Hinna in 2015. Having made his senior debut in the Fourth Division (fifth tier) in 2018, the 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID-19, and he moved to the larger club Sandnes Ulf in 2021. He played two cup games in March before making his league debut in the 2021 1. divisjon in August.[2][3]

He played for Faroese youth international teams.[4] He made his senior international debut in the 2024 Baltic Cup, to which the Faroe Islands were invited, in a loss against Latvia.[1] He was again called up in 2025, and for the 2026 Baltic Cup as well.[5]

Following Sandnes Ulf's relegation in 2024, he led the attempt to win re-promotion from the 2025 Norwegian Second Division, being team captain.[6] The attempt was successful.[7]

Personal life

He is nicknamed "Gulli". He took up studies in business administration at the University of Stavanger.[8]
