Career
Lie hails from Ørnes and started her youth career in Ørnes IL. She also played youth football for IK Grand Bodø before her family moved to Porsgrunn during her 9th grade year.{{cite news|title=– Hun overgår våre villeste forhåpninger|author=Lygren, Ingvild|work=Bergens Tidende|date=23 March 2022|pages=30–31|language=no}}{{cite news|title=Tøffe valg for Nora|author=Haaland, Bernt-Erik|author2=Larsen, Alexander|work=Bergensavisen|date=10 February 2022|pages=50–51|language=no}} Lie joined the club Urædd FK and attended the Telemark School of Elite Sport, among others together with the Odds BK boys' team players. She dreamt of the prospect of earning a living wage through football, preferably in the French or German league.{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/vestfoldogtelemark/supertalentet-nora_-_-skulle-onske-jeg-var-gutt-1.12578947|title=Supertalentet Nora: – Skulle ønske jeg var gutt|author=Simonsen, Stian Wåsjø|date=30 September 2015|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}} When no transfer abroad materialized, Lie studied jurisprudence at the University of Oslo. She graduated in 2023.[https://www.duo.uio.no/handle/10852/102977 duo.uio.no]
Lie was a prolific goalscorer for youth international teams, especially Norway U19, for whom she played 25 times.{{NFF|3200582}} Lie was first called up to the Norway women's national football team in 2017, as Martin Sjögren selected his very first squad as national team manager. Sjögren labelled her "a very exciting player for the future".{{cite news|url=https://www.dagbladet.no/sport/sjgren-tok-ut-debutant-i-sin-forste-landslagstropp/66587428|title=Sjögren tok ut debutant i sin første landslagstropp|date=3 January 2017|work=Dagbladet|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}} Having received signals that she was to be called up again in 2019, to a national team training camp at La Manga, she injured herself before the callup came.{{cite news|url=https://www.pd.no/hun-var-et-overtrakk-unna-landslagssamling/s/5-40-358571|title=Hun var et overtråkk unna landslagssamling|work=Porsgrunns Dagblad|date=9 July 2019|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}} Lie was called up yet again in March 2022.{{cite news|url=https://www.bt.no/fotball/i/k6ObAk/fem-brann-spillere-i-landslagstroppen|title=Fem Brann-spillere på A-landslaget: – Kom veldig overraskende og brått på|date=24 March 2022|work=Bergens Tidende|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}}
Lie started her senior career in the Norwegian First Division with Urædd FK, and when the team managed to win promotion to the 2016 Toppserien, she stayed with the club for the time being.{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/vestfoldogtelemark/nora-eide-lie-blir-i-uraedd-1.12629933|title=Stjernespilleren blir i Urædd|author=Roksund, Marie|date=31 October 2015|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}} Urædd struggled in Toppserien, and already in July 2016 she signed for Kolbotn IL. The transfer would take place after the season.{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/vestfoldogtelemark/eide-lie-fra-uraedd-til-kolbotn-1.13042584|title=Eide Lie fra Urædd til Kolbotn|date=14 July 2016|publisher=NRK|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}}
Following two seasons in LSK Kvinner FK, Lie signed for reigning champions IL Sandviken, which was to be rebranded as SK Brann Kvinner.{{cite news|url=https://www.rb.no/forlater-lsk-kvinner-hjertet-mitt-sa-jeg-skulle-bli-men-jeg-folte-det-var-na-eller-aldri/s/5-43-1693954|title=Forlater LSK Kvinner: – Hjertet mitt sa jeg skulle bli, men jeg følte det var nå eller aldri|work=Romerikes Blad|date=9 December 2021|author=Opsann, Carina|language=no|access-date=25 January 2024}} Lie scored the first goal in the 2022 Norwegian Women's Cup final, which Brann eventually won 3–1 over Stabæk.{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/sport/17-aring-herjet-for-brann-_-sikret-cupgull-1.16166652|title=17-åring herjet for Brann – sikret cupgull|author1=Hagen, Mathias|author2=Jørnholt, Malin|author3=Hagen, Andreas|author4=Hansen, Jonathan Simchai|publisher=NRK|date=5 November 2022|language=no|access-date=25 January 2024}}
She took part in Brann's international breakthrough during the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds, when she scored one of the goals that secured Brann a place in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Champions League group stage.{{cite news|url=https://www.nrk.no/vestland/brann-kvinnene-kan-bli-historiske_-spelar-om-plass-i-det-gode-selskap-1.16599625|title=Brann er historiske med gruppespelplass i Meisterligaen: – Ein magisk kveld|author1=Svedal, Maria Gunnarsdotter |author2=Bøthun, Hanna|author3=Johansen, John Inge|publisher=NRK|date=18 October 2023|language=no|access-date=29 January 2024}} The team even progressed to the next round.{{cite news|url=https://www.eurosport.no/fotball/uefa-women-s-champions-league/2023-2024/kraftige-reaksjoner-etter-dommeravgjorelse-da-brann-sikret-kvartfinale-en-kjempetabbe_sto9991531/story.shtml|title=Brann sikret kvartfinale etter omdiskutert dommeravgjørelse: – En kjempetabbe|author=Waag, Noah|date=25 January 2024|publisher=Eurosport|language=no|access-date=25 January 2024}}
