Atlanta United announced today it has signed Norway international defender Stian Gregersen through the 2027 MLS season with an option for 2028. Gregersen joins from Girondins de Bordeaux in France's Ligue 2 and will occupy an international roster spot pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.
The 28-year-old center back began his youth career with Kristiansund FK in his hometown before joining Molde FK in 2012. He was loaned to Kristiansund in 2015 before returning to Molde in 2016 where he made his first division debut. He would go on to make 98 appearances across all competitions for the club from 2016-2021, including nine appearances in the 2020-21 Europa League, scoring four goals and winning two Norwegian Cup titles. Gregersen spent the 2019 season on loan with Elfsborg in Sweden's top flight where he made 26 appearances and scored one goal.
Atlanta United joined Major League Soccer in 2017 and won the 2018 MLS Cup in just its second season, the earliest an expansion team has won the title since 1998. The club has set multiple league records including season tickets sales (36,000-plus), single-season average (53,002) and total home attendance (901,033). Owned by Arthur M. Blank, Atlanta United plays its home matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For more information about Atlanta United, including how to purchase season tickets, visit: www.atlutd.com.
