Signe Gaupset (born 18 June 2005) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Brann.
Gaupset hails from Molde and started her youth career in Rival and went on to the largest club in the city, Molde. She became a prolific goalscorer for youth international teams. Her scoring Norway's only goal at the 2022 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship did not prevent Norway from being eliminated.[2]
At a young age, she trained before school, after school and after dinner. High quantities of training may have contributed to an injury which made her miss half the 2023 season.[3]
Gaupset joined IL Sandviken in 2021, some time before her 16th birthday, and remained in the club when it was rebranded as SK Brann Kvinner in 2022. Gaupset made her national breakthrough in the 2022 Norwegian Women's Cup final, where she scored the two goals that put Brann ahead 3–1 to Stabæk.[4] [5]
She then made her international breakthrough during the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage. First, she was praised as "a sensation" during Brann's loss to Lyon.[6] One week later, in the reverse match against Lyon, Gaupset scored the equalizing goal in extra time.[7] Lastly, against Slavia Prague one of her crosses was converted to an own goal; with this being the only goal in the match, Brann progressed to the next round.[8]
In February 2024, Gaupset was called up to Norway's senior team in Gemma Grainger's first squad as national team manager.[9] She made her debut as a substitute against Croatia.
