Overview
- A Copenhagen court convicted the 21-year-old Benfica winger of distributing a 27-second clip that included minors, which he forwarded on Snapchat to four friends about two years ago while at FC Nordsjaelland.
- The judge described the ruling as a “yellow card” and imposed 14 days in jail suspended for one year after prosecutors sought 20 days.
- Schjelderup admitted the offense and apologized on Instagram, calling it a stupid mistake.
- The Norwegian Football Association does not plan further sanctions, so there is no immediate ban beyond the court’s sentence.
- Benfica president Rui Costa has pledged club support, and under José Mourinho the player has alternated between starting and bench roles this season.
