Guro Bergsvand

Bergsvand started playing football for Heming, before she changed to Lyn at a young age. She was part of the team that took Lyn from division three to the first divisjon, and she became the captain of the team. Before the 2014 season, she went to Stabæk, where she played six matches during the spring in Toppserien, before she moved to the USA to play football for California Golden Bears at the University of California, Berkeley. The summer of 2015, she played a few matches for Lyn in 1.divisjon before she returned to USA. After just half of the season, one of the ligaments in the same knee that was previously injured, ruptured. The Summer of 2019, Sandviken wanted to sign her, but she said no since it didn't feel right to leave Stabæk, which at that point was at the bottom of the league. Røa, Vålrenga and Kolbotn were all also among clubs that wanted to sign her. After it became clear that Stabæk would be relegated, it became official that Bergsvand left the club and signed for Sandviken. She was in 2021 part of the team who won Toppserien for the first time in Sandviken's history. After the season, NTB, Norske Fotballkvinner and Sportkollektivet all placed her on the team of the season. She extended the contract with Sandviken, who changed name to Brann, after the 2021 season. On 5 January 2023, Bergsvand signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion. On 5 May 2025, it was announced that Bergsvand would be leaving Brighton when her contract expires in June 2025. On 6 June 2025, it was announced that Bergsvand had signed a contract with VfL Wolfsburg until 30 June 2027. == International career ==

She has played matches for U16, U19, U23, and the national team. For the U-19 team, she played in the three group matches of the 2013 European Women's U-19 Football Championship .
