In the Norwegian League, Bryne FK, after 22 years, secured their first 3 points by defeating Haugesund 3-1. Axel Kryger, who was named the player of the match, was awarded a live lamb as a prize. This award not only served as a fun gesture but also carried a symbolic meaning to emphasize the importance of the agricultural culture in the region, particularly in meat and dairy production.
Another unusual award has come to the agenda in Norwegian football. After Bryne FK earned their first points in 22 years in the Eliteserien League, they rewarded the player of the match with a live lamb following their 3-1 victory against Haugesund.
THEY GAVE A LAMB
Axel Kryger, who scored the first goal that led Bryne to victory, was named "player of the match" for his performance. As part of the interesting award tradition in the Norwegian League, Kryger was gifted a live lamb as a prize.
MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FOR LOCAL AGRICULTURE
In a statement from the club, it was noted that the gift was not only a fun gesture but also carried a symbolic meaning to emphasize the importance given to the agricultural culture in the region, particularly in meat and dairy production.
THEY HAD GIVEN EGGS BEFORE
The interesting awarding habit of Bryne FK is actually not new. Despite losing to Bodo Glimt in the first week of the season, goalkeeper Jan de Boer was gifted three boxes of eggs after his saves and a penalty save. These practices, where local traditions are blended with football in Norway, are followed with interest among football fans.
