Ingrid Syrstad Engen (born 29 April 1998) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Barcelona in the Spanish Primera División 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 6th July 2021, she signed a two-year deal with Barcelona, keeping her at 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 named in the senior Norway women's national football team squad for the first time at the 2018 Algarve Cup. She won her first cap in Norway's opening match, a 4–3 defeat by Australia in Albufeira.

In September 2018, Engen scored in a 2–1 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 3 win over the Netherlands, which secured Norway's passage to 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]
