Bente Musland, married Haveland (born 2 March 1981) is a Norwegian footballer who played as a striker.

Career

She hails from Uskedalen and played children's football for Uskedal[1] and Rosendal.[2] She was discovered by the Football Association and taken into youth national team training camps.[3] She made her youth international debut for Norway U17 against Finland U17 in May 1998, scoring on her debut.[4]

By June 1997, she was already approaching 50 league goals; Rosendal's team having scored 83 goals in the first 11 matches of the season.[5] In August 1997, Musland scored 9 goals in a 25–0 evisceration of Åsane. By that time, Musland was behind 61 of the team's 120 goals in 14 matches.[6]

She was ready to play on a higher level, and in August 1998 she joined IL Solid on the second tier. On her debut, she scored twice in a victory over Haugar.[7] Ahead of the 1999 season, however, Solid discontinued their team. Musland was considering her options while wanting to finish Stord Upper Secondary School.[8] Ultimately, she moved to Bergen to finish secondary school there, and play for IL Sandviken.

In 2000 she moved on to a team on the outskirts of Bergen city, Arna-Bjørnar. Musland had considered whether she changed clubs too often, but liked the higher level at Arna-Bjørnar training sessions. She scored twice on her legue debut for her new club.[9][10] Musland reached the 2000 cup final with Arna-Bjørnar, as the first player from Kvinnherad to do so. Arna-Bjørnar lost the final.[11][12]

She started the 2001 season with two assists in the first match, followed by three goals in the next one.[13] Musland then became top goalscorer in the 2003 Toppserien, jointly with national team stalwarts Marianne Pettersen and Solveig Gulbrandsen.[14]

After the 2004 season, Musland was tired of football on an elite level. Despite being wanted by IL Sandviken, she signed for lowly Follese FK in 2006.[15][16] She moved to Åsane in 2007.[17] In 2009 she continued to ENK, a cooperation team between Nordhordland, Eikanger and Kvernbit.[18]

Personal life

Bente Musland married Ølver Haveland on 7/7/07, 7 July 2007.[19] The family settled in his home village of Omvikdalen in Kvam.[20]
