Rakel Engesvik is a new signing!

WELCOME, RAKEL ENGESVIK!

SL Benfica has reached an agreement with SK Brann for the signing of footballer Rakel Engesvik, who has signed a contract valid until June 2027 with the club.

The 26-year-old Norwegian midfielder (23/09/1998) underwent the usual medical examinations and, as of Wednesday, January 29, she will be part of the team's routine under coach Filipa Patão.

"I can't wait to get started and meet all the players and coaching staff, as well as the fans," began by stating the new signing for the Reds' women's football team.

Speaking to BTV, Rakel Engesvik made herself known as a player. "I like to play entertaining football. I like to create chances for my teammates and also score a few goals," she said.

The midfielder assumed she had seen some of the Inspiradoras' matches and was eager to “learn a lot more” about the club.

At Glorioso, Rakel Engesvik is reunited with Marit Lund, with whom he shared a dressing room in Norway. "Having Marit in the team means having a familiar face for me. It's great, and I hope she's happy too," she mentioned.

One of the new player's goals is to make the national team, but for now the priority is to establish herself in the team, get to know the city of Lisbon, the fans and “learn”.
