Maria Dybwad Brochmann (born 25 March 1993) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a forward for Djurgården.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Brochmann hails from Bergen and started her career in Åsane. Her breakthrough came in the 2013 Norwegian First Division, where she became top goalscorer with 20 goals in 20 games.[2]

In 2014 she moved up one division to Arna-Bjørnar. During parts of her spell at Arna-Bjørnar, she played as a defender. However, she reverted to being a forward and became one of the most prolific goalscorers of the 2018 Toppserien.[3] She lastly served as team captain before moving to city rivals IL Sandviken ahead of the 2019 season.[4]

Brochmann reached a milestone when winning the 2021 Toppserien with Sandviken. In the penultimate game, the team secured gold as Brochmann scored 5 times in a 8–0 thrashing of Klepp.[5] Sandviken was subsequently renamed SK Brann Kvinner, and with Brann, Brochmann scored her first Champions League goals in 2022, with 3 goals in 4 games during the 2022–23 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds.[6] During the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds, she scored 3 goals in a single game against Stare Zagora.[7] At the same time, there was doubt whether Brann wanted to renew Brochmann's contract which was due to expire after the 2023 season.[8] At the end of the season, it was announced that Brann brought in Anna Aahjem to replace Brochmann.[9] Instead, Brochmann signed for Djurgårdens IF in Sweden.[10] In the spring of 2024, she played 4 games in Damallsvenskan.[11]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Brochmann did not play for any youth national teams until the age of 21, when she was selected for Norway U23.[2] She received her first callup for Norway in August 2018, when she was included in the squad to face Slovakia and the Netherlands.[12] She did not get any playtime however.

Managerial career

[edit | edit source]

In her late 20s, Brochmann began working as a coach in Tertnes IL.[13] Her work here was severely curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2022 she was announced as the head coach of Fana IL.[14][15] As at August 2023, the team was leading their Third Division group.[16] The team won promotion to the 2024 Second Division. However, Brochmann resigned as coach when she moved to play in Sweden.[17]

Ahead of the 2025 season, Brochmann was announced as the new playing assistant coach of Åsane.[18]
