Even Hovland

Even Hovland (born 14 February 1989) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a centre back.

In the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League qualifying match against FC Basel, Hovland was injured and had to leave the pitch after 25 minutes.

He established himself as a consistent performer, and by the end of the season, he had played for BK Häcken 33 times in all competitions, scoring six goals,[7] helping them to their first ever Allsvenskan title.

[9] Hovland was named in Norway's squad for the EURO 2012 qualification match against Cyprus on 11 October 2011, because Brede Hangeland was suspended due to yellow cards.

[11] The day before Norway's friendly against Northern Ireland on 29 February 2012, Hovland was again called up for Norway as a replacement for Brede Hangeland, but because Hovland had played a pre-season match with Molde in Spain the same day he withdrew from the national team squad.
