Norway teen to play in friendly
Print Edition
A 15-YEAR-OLD has been selected by Norway for its upcoming friendly against the United Arab Emirates on August 27, making him the youngest ever player to be called into the squad.
Martin Odegaard, a midfielder with Norwegian club Stromsgodset, says “it is huge” to play for a team that he has watched on television.
Born on December 17, 1998, Odegaard has already represented the U-17 side, including appearances against the United States, France and Scotland.
“This is a dream come true. This is something I have dreamt about since I was a little boy,” Odegaard said.
“I am incredibly proud to play with the flag on my chest and represent my country,” he added.
Coach Per-Mathias Hogmo included the teenager in his squad, after a string of impressive performances for his club. Hogmo said yesterday that he considered Odegaard “would be one of this year’s rising stars.”
