Holger recently played in Denmark and loved the atmosphere and as he is always up for a challenge, he asked to be challenged, which Ruud was quick to reply to. Both players are very excited for the Nordic Battle 2024, the match they really don’t want to lose:

?

“Thank you for the challenge, Holger. I’m really looking forward to playing you in front of the amazing fans in Norway again, and then in return coming to visit you a few days later in Copenhagen in the 'return'! It’s time to show our noisy neighbours yet again who is the superior nation in sports"

“I'm happy Casper grabbed the challenge, and I can’t wait to play in front of the Danish fans in Copenhagen. Also, I hope to get some Danish support in Norway, so we can show them who the real Vikings are.”
