Benfica see Aursnes treated like a true star in Norway | OneFootball

Fredrik Aursnes continues to win admirers, both among Benfica fans and in Norway. However, it is in Hareid, the small town where he was born, that the midfielder enjoys particularly special recognition, to the point of becoming one of the central figures in the celebrations organized around the Norwegian national team’s participation in the World Cup.

To mark the Norwegian international’s presence in the major competition, the local club and the municipality joined forces to promote a special event on the day of the match between Norway and France, scheduled for June 26.

The initiative promises to bring together dozens of fans and local residents in a celebration dedicated to football and Aursnes’ journey. Music, entertainment, match predictions, food, drinks, and various activities are part of the program prepared to accompany the Norwegian national team’s game.

One of the elements attracting the most attention is a commemorative jersey created especially for the World Cup. The kit has seen strong demand and is selling out quickly, reflecting the player’s popularity in his hometown.

Aursnes remains one of the most important figures in the Eagles’ squad. Since arriving at Benfica in the 2022/23 season, the midfielder has established himself as an indispensable player thanks to his versatility, consistency, and ability to adapt to different positions. The Norwegian international is under contract with the Lisbon club until 2029 and is protected by a release clause set at 50 million euros.
