Fredrik Ardraa (born 7 October 2006) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Strømsgodset.
Club career
He grew up in Lier and played youth football for Stoppen before joining the academy of Strømsgodset. He signed a pro contract with Strømsgodset in early 2023, looking to become a member of the first team later.[2] He helped win the 2023 Norwegian Youth Cup and played in the 2024–25 UEFA Youth League.[3]
Ardraa made his first-team debut in April 2024, first in the cup against Hallingdal and six days later in the league against KFUM. His first goal came in August 2024 against Brann.[4] After the 2024 season, he was officially included in the senior squad,[3] and by 2025 he was an established player,[5][6] having scored in the season opener against Rosenborg.[7] In an internal award, Ardraa was named Young Player of the Year in 2025. However, Strømsgodset were relegated from the 2025 Eliteserien.[8]
International career
He was a Norway youth international since 2022.[9][10] Originally meant to play the 2025 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Ardraa was pulled out of the squad by new Strømsgodset manager Dag-Eilev Fagermo.[11] He received his first callup to Norway U21 in September 2025.[12] Though Norway U21 lost 1–4 to Spain U21, Ardraa scored the Norwegian goal.[13]
Personal life
He is of Spanish descent.[14]
