Youth

[edit]

Hegerberg was born in Molde,[4] but grew up in Sunndalsøra where she played for Sunndal Fotball along with her older sister Andrine.[5] In 2007, their family moved to Kolbotn, where the sisters later joined Kolbotn IL.[6]

She made her debut for Kolbotn in 2010.[7] On 6 August 2011, she scored three goals in seven minutes as Røa were beaten 4–1, with Andrine scoring the last goal. Aged 16, this made her the youngest player ever to have scored a hat-trick in Toppserien.[8] While still 16 years old, she finished as Kolbotn's top scorer in the 2011 Toppserien season[7] and was voted as the league's Young Player of the Year.[9]

Stabæk

[edit]

Ahead of the 2012 season, both Hegerberg sisters joined Stabæk.[10] During a match against Fart in May 2012, she scored five goals during the first half of Stabæk's 8–2 win. At this stage the sisters were considered to be two of the biggest talents in Norwegian women's football,[11] and Ada won the Statoil "Talent of the Month" award for the second time in May 2012.[12] She became top goalscorer in the 2012 Toppserien with 25 goals in 18 matches.[7] She also contributed two goals in the semi-final of the 2012 Norwegian Women's Cup, when Amazon Grimstad were beaten 3–0.[13] Stabæk's 4–0 final victory over Røa saw Hegerberg score a hat-trick.[14]

Turbine Potsdam

In 2013, she and her sister signed contracts with the German side 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam until 30 June 2014, where they became teammates of their countrywoman Maren Mjelde.[15] Hegerberg scored in her Bundesliga debut when SC Freiburg was beaten 3–1.[16] In their first season in Germany, the Hegerbergs and Turbine finished second in both the 2012–13 Bundesliga and the 2012–13 DFB-Pokal.[17]

Lyon

[edit]

In the summer of 2014, she transferred to Lyon.[18] Hegerberg had a very successful first season in France.

2015–16 season

Hegerberg returned to Lyon for the 2015–16 campaign. On 27 September, she scored a hat-trick in Lyon's 5–0 victory against rival PSG. Hegerberg became the first player to score a hat-trick against PSG since Julie Morel in October 2008.

Ballon d'Or

On 3 December 2018, Hegerberg became the first ever winner of the Ballon d'Or Féminin. There was controversy during the ceremony, however, as the host, DJ Martin Solveig, asked Hegerberg upon receiving the award if she wanted to dance in celebration and "knew how to twerk", who in turn responded "no". His comments were criticised as sexist in the media; he later apologised for his remark. Regarding the incident, Hegerberg later commented: "He came to me afterwards and was really sad that it went that way. I didn’t really consider it sexual harassment or anything in the moment. I was just happy to do the dance and win the Ballon d’Or." Concerning her award, she also added: "It’s incredible. This is a great motivation to continue working hard and we will continue to work together to win more titles. I wanted to end with some words for young girls around the world: believe in yourselves."[20] In a later interview, she said, "I know the importance of having role models to look up at," and called the decision of France Football to have a Ballon d'Or for women "a huge step forward".[21]

2018–19 season

Head to head with Paris Saint-Germain all season long, Lyon crushed their rivals 5–0 on 13 April 2019, with a goal and an assist for Hegerberg, a major individual performance. Lyon secured the title ten days later.

Hegerberg sustained an injury before Lyon were due to play Stade de Reims on 26 January 2020. It was later confirmed via an MRI scan that she had ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament.[24] On 28 January, the club announced that she would miss at least the remainder of the season.[25] In the wake of the COVID-19 breakthrough, the season was stopped only a few weeks after.

On 18 December 2020, she signed a contract extension with Lyon keeping her at the club through June 2024.[26] It was said in a later press release from the club that Hegerberg would not be available before the start of the 2021–22 season.

Comeback

On 5 October 2021, Hegerberg made her Lyon comeback after 21 months on the sideline, playing the final 12 minutes in Lyon's 3–0 win over BK Häcken in the opening match of the UEFA Champions League group stage.[27] She scored her first goals post-injury on 14 November 2021, with a brace against arch-rival Paris Saint-Germain, in one of the biggest games in women's football.

Youth

[edit]

At the age of 15, Hegerberg was on team Norway under-19 that played at the 2011 UEFA U-19 Championship.[31] She was also included in the squad for the final tournament, where Norway reached the final.[5] Hegerberg was a member of the Norwegian team that reached the quarter-finals at the 2012 FIFA U-20 World Cup. She and Andrine scored the goals in a 2–1 win over Canada in the group stage.[32]

Senior

[edit]

She made her senior debut for Norway as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Northern Ireland in Lurgan on 19 November 2011.[9]

Hegerberg made her championship debut on team Norway that played at the 2013 UEFA European Championship; a 1–1 draw with Iceland on 11 July 2013.[33] She scored her first goal in the tournament as Spain were defeated 3–1 in the quarter-final[34] and played the entire 90 minutes as Norway lost the final 1–0 to Germany.[35]

In January 2016, Hegerberg was awarded the 2015 Norwegian Gold Ball, given to the best footballer in Norway. The previous time it was awarded to a woman was 20 years earlier.

Protest

In the summer of 2017, Hegerberg decided to stop representing the national team as a form of protest due to a dispute with the NFF about how they treat women's football.[39] Despite some improvements including the doubling of the remuneration pot for women, Hegerberg felt there was "still a long way to go" so has continued to refuse to be called up and missed the 2019 World Cup.[40] She described her time with the national team "deeply depressing", giving her "nightmares", and leaving her "mentally broken".[41]

Return

In March 2022, Hegerberg ended her five year exile from the national team.[42] On her first game back on 7 April, Hegerberg scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Kosovo in the 2023 World Cup qualification.[43] A large influence in Hegerberg's decision to return to national play was the appointment of new NFF president Lise Klaveness, with whom Hegerberg spoke in depth about the vision of women's football moving forward.[44][45]

On 19 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player Norwegian squad for the World Cup 2023.[46] In the match against Switzerland she was in the starting lineup, but suffered a groin injury during warm-up sprints, and exited the field before the match began.[47] She returned two games later, coming on as a 74th minute substitute for Caroline Graham Hansen in the Round of 16 against Japan, but the game was lost 3-1.[48]

Personal life

[edit]

In June 2019, Hegerberg married Thomas Rogne.[49]

Views on COVID-19 impact on football

[edit]

In May 2020, in an online interview with ESPN, Hegerberg said that women's football would suffer due to COVID-19 because it is the sport's "weakest link". "We're kind of at the stage where we're still in need of that help and when you see football as a whole and the men's football is struggling you can also imagine yourself how the women's football is affected of this." Hegerberg stressed not losing track of women's football, especially as positives have emerged in terms of support for the game: "We need to raise our voices obviously to keep the subject warm."[50]

Sponsors and media

[edit]

Hegerberg is one of the most in-demand athletes in the world. After being awarded the Ballon d'Or in 2018, she became an ambassador for the watchmaker Hublot, as well as the financial technology company Mastercard. During the summer of 2019, after attending events such as the UEFA Champions League Final and the French Open for her sponsor Mastercard, she became the global ambassador of the Danone Nations Cup, the biggest international tournament of U12, for both girls and boys. In the summer of 2020, after six years collaborating with sports equipment supplier Puma, Nike and herself announced a long-term partnership. The American giant immediately elevated Hegerberg in multiple marketing campaigns, reinforcing its will to support activism, Hegerberg being known as a gender equality and sustainability activist.

Hegerberg has had a massive media impact over the past years, widely considered as the number one spokesperson for her sport, given the numerous interviews she gave for women's football.

On 19 November 2020, the US-based streaming platform ESPN+ published a documentary about Hegerberg: My Name is Ada Hegerberg.[51][52]

Hegerberg has been named one of the most powerful women in sport by a number of media, including Sports Illustrated.[53]
