Euro 2025: Norway Stars Hegerberg and Graham Hansen Return for First Quarterfinal in 12 Years
NORWAY, JUL 15 – After a five-year protest exile, Hegerberg leads Norway as captain, inspiring record crowds with her experience and role in advancing women's football, officials said.
- By topping Group A with nine points, Norway earned a quarter-final against Italy in Geneva on Wednesday.
- Having earned 10 French league and six Champions League titles with Olympique Lyonnais, Ada Hegerberg achieved multiple club honours and a historic Ballon d'Or before spending five years away from the national team in protest at unequal treatment.
- In Norway's opener against Switzerland, Hegerberg scored Norway's third in a 3-1 win over Spain with a curling shot off the post, delivering key goals and contributions, underpinning victories during the group stage.
- Hegerberg said 'It's a huge responsibility, something that I take very seriously... authenticity is the only way', as young admirers mimic her signature power braid around the training pitch.
- Looking ahead, Hegerberg's team faces a semifinal next Tuesday against Sweden or England, aiming for Norway's first major honour since Olympic gold in 2000.
