Justine Kvaleng Kielland (born 22 November 2002) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Frauen-Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg and the Norway national team.
Club career
Kielland hails from Bærum and started her youth career in Fossum IF before going on to the largest club in the area, Stabæk.[1] She made a breakthrough for Stabæk in the 2020 First Division, and was a key player from the 2021 Toppserien onward. After finishing school at the Norwegian School of Elite Sport in 2021, she started a higher education in Oslo to be able to remain in Stabæk.[2][3]
She was bought by SK Brann Kvinner in the summer of 2023 on a 3,5 year contract. Not having turned 21 years old, she amassed 80 league matches for Stabæk.[4] During Brann's successful 2023–24 Champions League run, Kielland scored against Glasgow in the qualifying rounds[5] as well as an equalizer against St. Pölten during the group stage.[6]
International career
In October 2023, Kielland was called up for Norway for the first time.[7] She remained unused then, but not long after, she made her full international debut against Croatia, being substituted in at half time.[8]
Personal life
While at Stabæk, she entered a relationship with men's player Oliver Valaker Edvardsen.[9]
