Ingrid Syrstad Engen (born 29 April 1998) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish Primera División club Barcelona and the Norway national team. She previously played for Trondheims-Orn and LSK Kvinner in Norway and Wolfsburg in Germany before joining Barcelona in 2021.

Club career

Engen began her senior career with Trondheims-Ørn. After the 2016 Toppserien she rejected approaches from other clubs to extend her contract with Trondheims-Ørn.[1]

After moving to LSK Kvinner and helping them secure a League and Cup double, she signed for German champions VfL Wolfsburg in December 2018. As part of the deal she agreed a return to LSK on loan for the first half of the 2019 season.[2]

On 6 July 2021, she signed a two-year deal with Barcelona, keeping her for the club until 30 June 2023.[3] On 25 September, she made her debut for Barcelona in a 8–0 thrashing of Valencia.[4]

International career

Engen was included in the Norway women's team in its debut for the 2018 Algarve Cup. She won her debut cap when Australia defeated Norway in its opening match, in Albufeira, 4–3.

In September 2018, Engen was included in the national team for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 3 that defeated Netherlands, 2–1. This win secured Norway's passage for the final tournament in France. She was praised by team coach Martin Sjögren: "She is only 20 years old but appears to have played international football for 10 years".[5]

Style of play

Engen usually plays as a box-to-box midfielder or "number 8" position as a central midfielder closer to the right side of the pitch.

Personal life

Engen was in a relationship with fellow Norway international player Marie Dølvik Markussen.[6]

She is currently in a relationship with Barcelona teammate and Spanish international María Pilar León.[7]
