Official Partnership With Iceland’s World Cup Football Team
To celebrate the launch of the new Össur Formfit Pro range, Össur is partnering with the National Football Association of Iceland. For the first time in its history, Iceland will participate in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. With just 350,000 inhabitants, Iceland is the smallest nation ever to qualify for this prestigious competition, which begins in June.
 
“Our alliance with the National Football Association of Iceland is an especially meaningful way to celebrate the achievements of both our National Football Team and the launch of the Össur Formfit Pro range,” Sigurdsson said. “2018 is going to be a big year, and we look forward to cheering Iceland on in their historic World Cup journey.”
