Soccer can be a cruel sport. While the game has seen many players rise above the rest to stand as icons. There have been some who have given their all but still failed to grab the spotlight. However, Arni Frederiksberg continues to push himself as he aims to achieve something for his club.

Arni Frederiksberg has risen to icon status, hailing from Faroe Island. The 31-year-old has dragged his team into European competition, beating the likes of Ferencvaros and Hacken. The player has emerged as one of the heroes of the area, and despite his age and work, he wants to continue supporting the club.

Working as a salaryman to fulfill his desires, this is the story of Arni Frederiksberg. The 31-year-old who used to deliver pizza is now helping his side stall tall across European competition. Arni touched down on the journey and talked about how he trains and that he might never be able to make an influx of money.

“In Norway, for example, we have agreements with Orkla, which we know very well. We sell Grandiosa and Big One pizza. I work all hours of the day if you can put it that way. We train from 17 to 20, and then try to be in the office between 08 and 16. I think it’s a bit later when you’re 31 years old. It doesn’t seem like I can make enough money to live off it for the rest of my life.”

“We think that after many years, the Faroe Islands will have the first full-time football clubs. But that will probably happen with younger players, not those of us who are a little older,” said Frederiksberg as nrk.co.
