Norwegian Premier League stars will wear black armbands this weekend to honor King Harald following his death, broadcaster Viaplay has confirmed. The Norwegian players requested permission from the league to wear the armbands in their upcoming matches. Erling Braut Haaland and Jørgen Strand Larsen are both in action Friday evening, starting up front for their respective clubs when Manchester City visits Crystal Palace.
Later this weekend, Sander Berge, Oscar Bobb, Sindre Walle Egeli, Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Kristoffer Ajer will also play. Martin Ødegaard's Arsenal do not play until Monday. All the Norwegian Premier League stars were part of the national team at this summer's World Cup.
After the tournament, the national team players went directly to the Royal Palace to meet the royal family. "The images of them meeting the king one by one tell of a king who was generally very fond of sports, and at that particular moment especially when it came to the national football team, said Viaplay football expert Tor Ole Skullerud. Several of the Premier League stars have offered their condolences following the news of King Harald's death Friday morning.
"Thank you for everything you were for Norway. A fantastic king and a fantastic man whom we all felt a close connection. Rest in peace, dear King Harald, Ødegaard wrote on Instagram.
Haaland also paid tribute through social media. Rest in peace, King Harald. Thank you for everything you have been for Norway.
