Martin Odegaard has been named the Norwegian Professional Football League’s Kniksens Hederspris winner for 2022.
The accolade is awarded to players who have made a significant contribution to Norwegian football, and the current national team skipper has been announced as this year’s recipient aged just 23 years old.
However, he already boasts a wealth of experience having made his club and national team debuts aged just 15, and holds the record as Norway’s youngest player as well as the youngest to feature for any nation in a UEFA European Championship qualifier.
The award was announced at the 50th anniversary of the Norwegian Professional Football League in Oslo Thursday evening, with the jury stating that Martin was a worthy winner.
