Sofie Bruun Bredgaard (born 18 January 2002) is a Danish footballer who plays as a forward for Fiorentina and the Denmark national team.

Club career

Bredgaard joined B 93 from BSF in 2017. The following year she scored for B 93 on her Kvindeligaen debut, in a 2–2 draw with Odense Q at Østerbro Stadium.{{cite web |title=10 Sofie Bregaard |url=https://b93prof.dk/project/10-sofie-bredgaard/ |access-date=3 June 2022 |publisher=Boldklubben af 1893 |language=Danish |archive-date=2 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902202042/https://b93prof.dk/project/10-sofie-bredgaard/ |url-status=dead }} In October 2017 she had spent a period training with Manchester City.{{cite news |last1=Andersen |first1=Laura |title=Stortalent til træning i Manchester City |url=https://ekstrabladet.dk/skolefodbold/nyheder/stortalent-til-traening-i-manchester-city/6868730 |access-date=3 June 2022 |publisher=Ekstrabladet |date=24 October 2017 |language=Danish |archive-date=18 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171018142147/http://ekstrabladet.dk/skolefodbold/nyheder/stortalent-til-traening-i-manchester-city/6868730 |url-status=dead }}

In July 2020 Bredgaard signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swedish Damallsvenskan club Linköpings FC. She regretted leaving home before the completion of her education, but noted that the pay and conditions for female footballers were much better in Sweden than Denmark.{{cite news |last1=Pelch |first1=Nikita |title=Dansk stortalent vælger den svenske liga: 'Danmark kan ikke tilbyde mig de samme vilkår' |url=https://www.dr.dk/sporten/fodbold/kvindeligaen/dansk-stortalent-vaelger-den-svenske-liga-danmark-kan-ikke-tilbyde-mig |access-date=3 June 2022 |publisher=DR (broadcaster) |date=5 August 2020 |language=Danish}} After playing in Linköpings' first match of the 2022 Damallsvenskan season, Bredgaard signed for FC Rosengård on 31 March 2022, the final day of the transfer window.{{cite news |last1=Fredriksson |first1=Emelie |last2=Brattgård |first2=Louv |title=Sofie Bredgaard klar för FC Rosengård |url=https://www.svt.se/sport/fotboll/sofie-bredgaard-klar-for-fc-rosengard |access-date=3 June 2022 |publisher=Sveriges Television |date=1 April 2022 |language=Swedish}}
