ØDEGAARD'S NORWEGIAN WEDDING! ARSENAL STARS FLY TO OSLO AS SAKA LEADS CELEBRATIONS FOR CAPTAIN & PARTNER
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard and winger Bukayo Saka have landed in Norway this weekend to join the wedding festivities of Ødegaard and his partner, dance champion Helene Spilling—a two-day celebration filled with football camaraderie, glamour, and Norwegian charm.
💍 Day One: A Rustic Ceremony Near Oslo
Friday kicked off at a luxurious countryside estate just outside Drammen, Ødegaard’s hometown. The venue, set against shaded woodlands and riverside fields, hosted a relaxed rehearsal dinner with close family and friends.
Saturday morning saw the couple wed in a 17th-century wooden church in Gjerdrum. Around 150 guests attended, including close-knit members of Arsenal’s squad, Dæhli from Norway, and family.
Reports describe a warm, sunlit ceremony where Ødegaard and Spilling walked down the aisle under arches of white blossoms as guests sung “All You Need Is Love”—a nod to their underlying connection.
🥂 Arsenal in Attendance
Bukayo Saka, appearing alongside girlfriend Tolami Benson, joined Kai Havertz (with wife Sophia) and Leandro Trossard (with wife Laura Hilven) among the wedding party.
Both Saka and Trossard were captured in quiet moments of celebration—laughter, hugs, and group photos—underscoring the strong off-field bonds within the squad.
Arsenal's growing "parenting club" was hinted at too—several players, now fathers themselves, joined the weekend to show support.
🎊 Night Two: Oslo City Soiree
Moving to the “Gamle Logen” venue in central Oslo, guests departed the countryside via convoy before arriving at a stunning setting for an evening reception.
Norwegian singer Dagny surprised the couple with a set that transitioned into a lively dinner, dance, and champagne-filled midnight celebration.
The second night concluded in style, with guests escorted through Oslo streets guarded by white banners and private security—highlighting the couple's deep friendships and need for privacy.
🌍 Why This Matters for Arsenal
These appearances reinforce the strong chemistry within the Arsenal squad—captain Ødegaard including teammates in key moments sends a powerful message about unity and support.
For Saka, attending shows loyalty and offseason bonding that can fuel team cohesion ahead of a demanding season—including early Champions League fixtures.
Even Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard, recent transfers, fit seamlessly into the mix—hinting at a tight-knit group ready to push for silverware together.
📸 On-Field Impact
With Arsenal pursuing major targets in midfield and attack, this off-field harmony couldn’t come at a better time. Seeing their leaders celebrate together underscores a stable, focused environment conducive to success next season.
✨ Final Word
Oslo has been transformed—if only briefly—into an Arsenal stronghold this weekend. Between champagne, songs, and heartfelt moments, Ødegaard and Spilling’s celebration has shone a spotlight on the strong personal connections forging Roman-era chemistry behind the scenes. If the Gunners can carry this spirit into training and matches, they’ll become stronger both on and off the pitch.
