'''Ingrid Hjelmseth''' (born 10 April 1980) is a Norwegian former [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]]. She was Norway's No. 1 for a decade,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hoel |first=Yasmin Sunde |date=28 June 2019 |title=I 21 år har hun trent grytidlig før jobb. Nå har Hjelmseth spilt sitt siste mesterskap |url=https://www.nrk.no/sport/i-21-ar-har-hun-trent-grytidlig-for-jobb.-na-har-hjelmseth-spilt-sitt-siste-mesterskap-1.14607204 |access-date=29 April 2022 |website=NRK |language=nb-NO}}</ref> and her former club [[Stabæk Fotball Kvinner|Stabæk]] name her a legend.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NISO's hederspris til Ingrid Hjelmseth |url=https://www.stabak.no/nyheter/niso-s-hederspris-til-ingrid-hjelmseth |access-date=29 April 2022 |website=Stabæk}}</ref>

==Career==
Originally from [[Skjetten]], she was the Norway national team's reserve keeper from 2003 onwards, and played for [[Trondheims-Ørn]] in the elite [[Toppserien]] league for seven seasons while at university, with 217 appearances for the club.
In 2006, her last year in goal at Trondheims-Ørn, the club conceded only ten goals in the entire Toppserien season of (at that time) 18 matches.

At the beginning of 2007 she moved back to Oslo to start work as a professional engineer at [[Det Norske Veritas]] and now works in [[DNV Software]]. At the same time she joined [[Asker FK]] as first keeper. After a good start to the season she tore a collateral knee ligament in June 2007 which kept her out of football for several months, and she was not selected for the Norway squad to go to the [[2007 FIFA Women's World Cup|World Cup tournament in China in 2007]].

Hjelmseth went to the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] as Norway's third keeper, in the reserve squad of four who were only to be used if a player in the main squad of 18 had to leave for medical reasons.

At the end of 2008 Asker's first team was disbanded after continuing financial troubles at the club, and most of the players including Hjelmseth joined [[Stabæk IF]]'s newly formed women's team [[Stabæk Fotball Kvinner]] for the 2009 season. The new team thus became part of one of Norway's largest sports clubs.

In August 2009 Hjelmseth was designated Norway's first-choice goalkeeper for the [[UEFA Women's Euro 2009]] held in Finland between Europe's leading twelve footballing nations.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ingrid Hjelmseth |url=http://en.archive.dr.infra.uefa.com/competitions/woco/players/Player=46425/index.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140924124732/http://en.archive.dr.infra.uefa.com/competitions/woco/players/Player=46425/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 September 2014 |website=[[UEFA]] |access-date=24 September 2014 |date=10 September 2009}}</ref> In the group stage Norway were placed third, and they advanced to the quarter-finals where they beat Sweden 3–1 contrary to most predictions, only to fall in the semifinal against the reigning champions Germany. Hjelmseth was widely praised for her part in what was seen as a successful campaign. By the end of 2011 she had completed three seasons as Norway's first keeper and 52 matches for Norway in which she had received one yellow card.

Hjelmseth became a Toppserien League champion in 2010 with Stabæk, conceding eight goals in the season of 22 matches. The team qualified to play in the [[UEFA Women's Champions League]] in 2011. Also in 2010 she set a new goalkeeping record by conceding no goals at home during an entire season.

In 2011 Stabæk again qualified for the Champions League by finishing second in the Toppserien, and also won the Norwegian Cup on 5 November in a match that went to extra time and penalties. Hjelmseth's part in the match was vital and she saved two penalties in the final shootout.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.womensfootball.eu/forum/index.php/topic,6697.80.html |title=Cup Final report |access-date=5 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308081019/https://www.womensfootball.eu/forum/index.php/topic,6697.80.html |archive-date=8 March 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Hjelmseth was named in Norway's squad for [[UEFA Women's Euro 2013]] by veteran [[Coach (sports)|coach]] [[Even Pellerud]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/020a-0e141277a7f3-7d49004b79bd-1000--pellerud-excited-by-norway-squad/ |title=Pellerud 'excited' by Norway squad |date=13 June 2013 |access-date=24 September 2014 |work=[[UEFA]] |first=Eivind |last=Aarre|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141002031537/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news/newsid=1962521.html|archive-date=2 October 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> She played in the [[UEFA Women's Euro 2013 Final|final]] at [[Friends Arena]], which Norway lost 1–0 to [[Germany women's national football team|Germany]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0252-0ce447d38ef5-a4bdab73dc78-1000--angerer-the-hero-as-germany-make-it-six-in-a-row/ |title=Angerer the hero as Germany make it six in a row |date=28 July 2013 |access-date=24 September 2014 |work=[[UEFA]] |first=Chris |last=Burke|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201221105/http://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/season=2013/matches/round=2000178/match=2011602/postmatch/report/|archive-date=1 February 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>

Ahead of the [[2015 FIFA Women's World Cup]], veteran Hjelmseth admitted that she was considering retirement if Norway's performance did not achieve a place at the [[Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Rio Olympics]]. She intended to start playing outfield in the lower divisions at the completion of her national team career.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Holmlund |first1=Bjørnar |title=VM kan avgjøre fotballfremtiden |url=http://www.budstikka.no/VM_kan_avgj_re_fotballfremtiden-5-55-56798.html |access-date=30 March 2015 |publisher=[[Budstikka]] |date=29 March 2015 |language=no |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402101047/http://www.budstikka.no/VM_kan_avgj_re_fotballfremtiden-5-55-56798.html |archive-date=2 April 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
