Mathias Svenningsen-Grønn has received his first call-up to the Norway U18 national team. The Sarpsborg 08 player, currently on loan at Strømmen, will face England, Wales and the USA in Marbella next week.
International duty in Marbella
The fixture schedule begins against England at the Marbella Football Center on September 29 at 16:00. Two days later, on October 2 at 12:00, Wales awaits at the same venue. The finale is against the USA at the Banus Football Center on October 5 at 11:00. The club has wished the player, often called Matti, good luck with his international debut.
The loan to Strømmen for the remainder of the season is designed to guarantee Svenningsen-Grønn playing time and development. Now, the national team setup is rewarding that strategy with a call-up. For Sarpsborg 08, who sit ninth in the Eliteserien with 25 points, this is a positive sign that their youth development is bearing fruit. The team is without a win in five matches, with a latest result of 1-3 against KFUM Oslo, and looks ahead to the next fixture away to Aalesund on October 11.
