Entering the World Cup! 45,000 Norwegian fans gathered to celebrate, and Odegaard appeared as the finale guest.

On November 18, foreign media reported that after Norway was confirmed to qualify for the World Cup, about 45,000 fans gathered in Oslo City Hall Square to celebrate.

Norway captain Odegaard appeared as the finale guest. When interviewed by host Erik Solbakken, he described the scene as "simply crazy, incredible."

Odegaard said frankly that the team experienced many setbacks and "bad luck" moments, but ultimately relied on unity and belief to persevere until the end. As soon as the celebration ended, he hurriedly left the venue and rushed to the airport and was unable to be interviewed.

Although he was unable to play due to a knee injury, Odegaard still participated in all games with the team and even spoke at halftime to encourage the team. Wolves forward Strand Larsson, who scored a goal for the team in stoppage time, praised him as the "perfect captain" and believed that this veteran who has experienced the most troughs is the most deserving of the honor at this moment.
