Maren Nævdal Mjelde was born on November 6, 1989. She is 33 years old and is a professional footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for the Women’s Super League club Chelsea and captains the Norway national team. She previously played for Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC of the Swedish Damallsvenskan, Turbine Potsdam of the Frauen-Bundesliga and both Arna-Bjørnar and Avaldsnes IL of the Norwegian Toppserien.
She has won several titles with Chelsea, including the Super League and the FA Cup. In addition, she played for Norway both in the Euro in 2009 and 2013, where Norway got bronze and silver, respectively.
Mjelde was born in Bergen. She joined the Norwegian club, Arna-Bjørnar, as a 15-year-old in 2005. The club finished the 2012 Toppserien League in third place, earning the bronze medal that year.
Mjelde transferred to the German club Turbine Potsdam before the 2013 season. She played all the club’s matches in the latter part of the season when they reached the runner-up position in the German Cup and League competitions.
On 22 November 2016, Mjelde signed for Chelsea Ladies on a deal until 2018. On 16 November 2019, Mjelde scored the only goal in Chelsea Women’s historic win versus Manchester United Women, the first game ever played between these two female teams in the WSL 1.
On 30 March 2023, Chelsea played the second leg in the quarter-final of the Champions League against Lyon, last year’s winner. The aggerated score was 1-1 after full-time, so the match went to extra time and Däbritz scored for Lyon in the 110th minute, so Chelsea had to score. At the end of the added time for the second period, Chelsea got a penalty.
Mjelde took the penalty and scored. The penalty was the last kick of the match, so it continued to penalty shoot-out, where Mjelde took the first penalty and scored again. Ann-Katrin Berger saved two penalties, which meant that Chelsea was through to the semi-final. During and after the match, Mjelde’s performance was praised by several, including the DAZN commentator, Emma Hayes and Ian Wright. Hayes said that Mjelde is a Chelsea legend and that you can count on her in the biggest moments.
