Daily News | Viktor Benediktsson’s journey from Iceland to Villanova soccer is best told through his tattoos
this season, and has the program on track to improve on last year’s historic NCAA tournament run. Individually, Benediktsson earned Big East Defender of the Week honors on Sept. 26, after scoring in three straight matches and marshaling the Wildcats’ back line to three clean sheets in four games. Despite playing in central defense, Benediktsson currently ranks second on the Wildcats with four goals.
Benediktsson moves upwards on his right forearm, to the word “Ohana” written in cursive. The phrase “Ohana means family” was popularized by Disney’s“When I think about Ohana and family, I don’t think about my parents and siblings necessarily alone,” Benediktsson said. “I think of all the people that are close to me, that I care about. Those are all people that are my family.”
The lion is Benediktsson’s defensive aggression and attacking history. He played until his teen years as a striker, although he admits, “I scored more with my head than my feet.” After coming to Villanova as a defensive mid, he fully transitioned to center back during the 2021 spring season. “It’s a reference to how proud I am to have been able to play on the field with my nation’s crest on my chest for the national team,” Benediktsson said. “I’m proud to be from Iceland. I’m proud of my heritage, and being able to represent that country in some way.”
