International career
After a good 2009 season Atli was selected for three international friendlies in the Icelandic off-season, playing the first half in a 1-0 loss to Iran in November 2009 and coming on as a late substitute in a 2-0 victory against the Faroe Islands and a 0-0 draw against Mexico in March 2010.
