Career
[edit | edit source]Haugsted started playing handball at the age of 10 at Skive fH. In 2010 she switched to FC Midtjylland Håndbold, where she played for two years before returning to Skive fH. In 2012 she won the Danish youth League with FC Midtjyllands U-18 team. After three seasons where she broke through to the first team at Skive fH, she signed a three-year contract with Odense HC.[5] She would end up playing only one season at Odense, but in that season she was the club top scorer with 57. After a season at Odense she transferred to Viborg HK.[6][7] Here she won her first senior medals, when the club won silver in the 2020–21 Damehåndboldligaen.[8] On 30 January 2022, it was announced that Haugsted had signed a 2-year contract with Hungarian top club Győri ETO KC.[9] Here she won the Hungarian league title in her first year. After a little more than a year, she returned to Danish handball to join Team Esbjerg.[10]
She made her debut on the Danish national team on 28 November 2014, against Norway.[11] She participated at the 2016 European Women's Handball Championship in Sweden.[12] She represented Denmark at the 2021 World Women's Handball Championship in Spain[13] and at the 2023 World Women's Handball Championship at home, where Denmark won bronze medals on both occasions. At the 2024 Olympics she won a bronze medal.[14] Later the same year, she won silver medals at the 2024 European Championship, losing to Norway in the final.[15] At the 2025 World Women's Handball Championship Denmark went out in the quarterfinal to France after winning all matches in the group stages. The Danish team was affected by a lot of players missing the tournament including goalkeepers Sandra Toft and Althea Reinhardt and pivots Sarah Iversen and Rikke Iversen. This was the first time since 2019 that Denmark left a major internatonal tournament without any medals.[16]
