Caroline Graham Hansen

Hansen began her career in the Norwegian Toppserien with Stabæk before moving to Sweden in 2013 to play for Tyresö FF in the Damallsvenskan. She represented Norway at youth international level and made her senior team debut in 2011. In 2013, at just 18, she played a major role in Norway's silver medal at the UEFA Women's Euro. Her club career took her to VFL Wolfsburg in 2014, where she won 8 major trophies, including 3 league titles and 5 DFB-Pokal titles, and reached two UEFA Women's Champions League Finals in 2016 and 2018. However, between 2015 and 2018, she developed multiple serious long-term injuries that hampered her progress.

In 2019, Hansen signed for FC Barcelona, a club that had just reached the UEFA Women's Champions League Final. That same year, she was one of the most noteworthy players in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup with Norway and received her first nominations for major year-end awards, including The Best and the FIFA FIFPro World XI. Her first season with Barcelona brought the club its first league title since 2015. In 2021, she won the UEFA Women's Champions League with Barcelona for the first time, completing a continental treble. Hansen's career has been defined by her resilience through injuries and her consistent excellence on the pitch.
