Norway coach Gemma Grainger has revealed the 23-player squad, along with four reserves, for the UEFA Women`s European Championship scheduled to take place in Switzerland throughout July (from the 2nd to the 27th). The roster includes key stars such as Ada Hegerberg, Caroline Graham Hansen, Ingrid Engen, and Frida Maanum. Additionally, two players from Italy`s Serie A have been called up: Fiorentina goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand and Juventus central defender Mathilde Harviken.
Commenting on the selection process via the Norwegian Football Federation`s channels, Coach Grainger stated: “It was a positive and thorough process. Selecting a squad is always difficult, and there`s a lot of competition for places. This is the toughest part of my job, but I am very satisfied with this team.
