Andreas Schjelderup Faces Legal Action Over Old Video Mistake
Norwegian footballer Andreas Schjelderup has admitted to facing a legal issue over an old video he shared years ago. The Benfica winger, now 21, addressed the matter in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday.
He described the incident as a “stupid mistake” from when he was 19 and playing for Danish club Nordsjaelland. According to Schjelderup, he received a video and shared it with a friend without realizing what it contained. However, he deleted it once he understood its nature.
Taking Responsibility and Moving Forward
In his post, Andreas Schjelderup said, “What I did in Denmark at the time was illegal and wrong. I take full responsibility for my actions.” His words show honesty and a willingness to learn from his past.
The statement came just as he earned a place in Norway’s 24-player squad for the World Cup qualifiers. The upcoming matches against Estonia and Italy hold great importance for Norway. A win could bring the team closer to its first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Fans have praised Schjelderup for owning up to his mistake. Many believe this moment could help him grow both on and off the pitch. In addition, it serves as a reminder for young athletes about the importance of digital responsibility.
Schjelderup remains focused on football and looks forward to helping his team qualify for the tournament. As a result, this experience could become a turning point in his career.
