Description

Kristen Viikmäe (born 10 February 1979) is a retired Estonian footballer who last played in the Estonian Meistriliiga for JK Nõmme Kalju as a striker. He now plays beach soccer.

Born in Tallinn, Viikmäe started his career with FC Flora Tallinn, and has since played for Tallinna Jalgpallikool, Tallinna Sadam, Vålerenga, Enköpings SK, Fredrikstad, Gefle IF and Jönköpings Södra IF. January 2010 he moved to Panegialios F.C., a third division team in Greece. He left the club in September because of salary problems. In January 2011 he joined JK Nõmme Kalju. On 9 October 2012, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory against FC Kuressaare, which secured JK Nõmme Kalju's first ever title. After the match, Viikmäe announced his intention to retire at the end of the season. He scored in his last match on 5 November 2012.

During his national team career he has been capped 115 times and scored 15 goals. He made his debut on 26 January 1997 in a friendly against Lebanon, replacing Andres Oper in the second half. On 30 May 2006, at the age of 27 years and 109 days, Viikmäe became the youngest European footballer to reach 100 caps, which was beaten by German striker Lukas Podolski (27 years and 13 days) during Euro 2012. His testimonial match for the national team, as with all Estonians who are capped more than 100 times during their career, was held on 3 June 2013 against Belarus.
