Odegaard wrote: We have dreamed of this moment since we were children.
We put in a lot of effort, we failed countless times...
But we never gave up, never lost faith, hope or unity. This team has always stuck together through the toughest days, which makes today’s achievement even more precious.
I am proud to be a member of this team, proud to represent Norway, and proud to be a Norwegian.
I am about to represent Norway in the World Cup. I believe that as long as we work hard and believe in our dreams, it can really come true.
To all the children, we have all been just like you. So dream big, work hard, anything is possible!
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate us yesterday, and thank you for the love you have given us these days! This means a lot to us!
Let us enjoy this moment, but our steps will not stop...
