Aursnes, SL Benfica player, announced this Tuesday, March 12, to the National Coach and the Norwegian Federation of Football, his retirement from the National Team of Norway.

International on 20 occasions, in which he scored once, Benfica’s midfielder Fredrik Aursnes has announced his farewell to the Norwegian national team, explaining the reasons why.

"I want to thank my teammates, coaches and staff for a long time together in the national team. I feel proud to have been part of this group and to have represented my country. Despite this, I feel that I want to have more time and freedom to prioritize other things in my life besides football, which is very difficult in the face of a year full of scheduled matches," he began.

"That's why I've decided to stop playing for the national team. I've thought about it a lot, it was a difficult decision, but at the same time I feel it's the right thing to do, and I want to prioritize it," he said.
