Cecilie Pedersen (born 14 September 1990) is a Norwegian footballer that plays as a striker.
She played for SK Haugar until she moved to Avaldsnes IL ahead of the 2009 season [2] on a three-year contract that reportedly made her one of the highest paid women footballers in the country.
National team trainer Eli Landsem advised her strongly to transfer to a Toppserien club, and she entered discussions with Arna-Bjørnar in Bergen at the end of 2010.
Avaldsnes made financial demands in compensation for her high salary and the hire of her club car, and local businessmen stepped in with offers.
[4] In June 2009 she was called up to the national team for the European Championships,[2] and in the second game, against Iceland, she was the matchwinner with her goal before the break.
