Kristoffer Ajer, Jordan Henderson, Aaron Hickey, and Igor Thiago have been called up to play for Norway, England, Scotland, and Brazil, respectively. Each player has taken a different path to this point in their international careers. For Ajer, there is the pride of an historic qualification with Norway. For Henderson, there is the already extensive experience with England on the biggest stage. Hickey's return from injury has put him back in the conversation for Scotland. And Thiago is building a case to become Brazil's no.9. The opportunity to play at a World Cup doesn't come around for many, so it will be a pretty special moment for the Bees' players. The journey we've been on has been incredible, and to think about our players going to a World Cup only a few years ago would have been a dream! It's a testament to the work that's gone on and the striving nature of the club. Going to a major tournament like this is a huge part of a player's career. The Bees' players will head to the tournament in North America, each with their own unique story to tell. For Ajer, there is the pride of an historic qualification with Norway.
