Lykke Borg began playing football aged five in her hometown Højby.[1] In 2007, she attended Rollins College in Florida and played NCAA college soccer.[2]
Following a successful UEFA Women's Euro 2013 tournament with Denmark, Lykke Borg secured a transfer from Brøndby to FCR 2001 Duisburg. She had compiled three Elitedivisionen titles and four Danish Women's Cups in her time with Brøndby.[3] In 2016 Lykke Borg transferred to Kristianstads DFF, after playing in Odense's first three matches of the Danish season.[4]
Early in 2017 she moved back to Denmark in order to be closer to her family and friends. She chose to play for KoldingQ without wage even though she had offers from clubs from other countries. During UEFA Women's Euro 2017 she told the media that she was a better goal keeper when she was living close to her family and friends. She studies to be a physiotherapist and has to work beside playing football and studying. During the Euro 2017 the Danish football association paid her wage as she could not work during the tournament.[5]
She stopped her professionel career in 2018, but she went back in June 2020 after pregnancy, to play for HB Køge.[6]
She was called into the Denmark squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2005 as an uncapped player.[7]
After a knee injury to regular goalkeeper Heidi Johansen, Lykke Borg was elevated to first choice for UEFA Women's Euro 2013.[8] In Denmark's opening group match against hosts Sweden she saved two second half penalty kicks from Lotta Schelin and Kosovare Asllani, respectively, to secure a 1–1 draw.[9]
Denmark progressed to the quarter-finals on the drawing of lots, where they shocked France in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw. Lykke Borg stopped Louisa Nécib's kick in the shoot-out, after narrowly failing to keep out the same player's penalty goal during the match.[10] Denmark's run came to an end in the semi-final when they lost another penalty shoot-out to Norway.
