Captain Martin Odegaard paired with his girlfriend Helene Spilling in the match against the Prince of Norway

Not only did the Norwegian Royal Family get to play, but so did Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, and his girlfriend. Odegaard played in a benefit match held every year at the Skaugum estate. Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and his wife Princess Mette-Marit live on the estate.

 Odegaard was on their team, and so was our dancer lover Helene Spilling. Maren Mjelde and Guro Bergsvand, two Norwegian women’s soccer players who play for Chelsea and Brighton in the Women’s Super League, will join them. Jan Age Fjortoft, a striker who used to play for Sheffield United and Middlesbrough, will also be there.

Odegaard’s team lost in the end, 7-6, to the Bon Unified handicapped soccer team. He said, “They made it hard for us, but we did our best.” after the game. “This is great; we’ve been here before.” Football can be played by anyone.

“It makes me happy that everyone here is happy.” Have fun with it. It’s fun because they contributed and had good goals. When asked about his partner’s performance, he said, “She could do a little bit better with the throw-ins, but more than that, she had a lot of will and she gave all that is possible.”

Spilling, however, made light of the fact that Odegaard was “actually quite good on the dance floor” and that she was “so bad at soccer.” “We really intended to let him dribble with me, but things didn’t work out because I was so awful as the girlfriend,” she remarked.

He’s pretty good at dancing, we tried it out for a while! I think what I thought of him on the dance floor was better than what I thought of myself right now. Fjortoft gave the Bonn team a lot of praise on social media after the game. A tweet from him said, “Bøn FK were a great team today.” It’s nice to be able to put on a big football game with family. They train once a week and have only lost twice this season. Lars got four goals for them today.

He wants to take Arsenal to another Premier League title next season.
