Thea Bjelde is moving to VfL Wolfsburg women on a free transfer!
A real stroke of luck for VfL Wolfsburg: from July 1st, Norwegian Thea Bjelde will wear the women's team jersey. She is moving from Valerenga Oslo on a free transfer and has signed a contract until June 30, 2028. The 25-year-old not only brings her versatility, but also an impressive career in women's football.
Bjelde can play in both midfield and defense and sees this move as the perfect development for her career. In her own statement, she highlights VfL's tradition and ambitious goals, which immediately appealed to her. She also raves about the passionate fan base, which is a particular motivation for many players. Ralf Kellermann, the director of women's football at VfL, is sure that Bjelde will be a great addition to the outside defense, which should also benefit the team.
First steps in professional football
Thea Bjelde's career began on August 17, 2016, when she made her debut for Arna-Bjornar Fotball in the Norwegian first division. Over the years she gained valuable experience in the top series and in various national competitions. In total, she played 70 games for Arna-Bjornar before moving to Valerenga in 2021, where she played a further 117 competitive games. Her successes there speak for themselves: with Valerenga she secured two championships and two cups.
Bjelde has also caused a sensation on the international stage. She has played for all of Norway's U national teams and was active in the U17 and U19 European Championships. She made her senior national team debut on October 7, 2022 against Brazil and started all four games at the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Looking at the Champions League
In the recent past, VfL Wolfsburg has left a strong impression in women's football.

VfL won their semi-final games and are determined to show what they are capable of in this final as well. The games are broadcast via the streaming provider DAZN, which offers the game live and exclusively.
