Aursnes Confirms No Hidden Plan, Returns to Norway Squad

Published May 30, 2026 · Updated May 30, 2026 · NRK

Fredrik Aursnes said he was hesitant to return to the Norwegian national team, but a conversation with coach Ståle Solbakken changed his mind. He is now back in the squad for the upcoming World Cup play‑offs in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

In March 2024, the Benfica star had declined to continue representing Norway, citing the heavy club and national team load. Aursnes revealed that a decisive chat with Ståle Solbakken convinced him that it was "now or never," and he has re‑joined the squad ahead of the World Cup play‑offs. He stressed that there was no pre‑planned move or hidden agenda behind his return. catcross.biz
