Colorado Springs, CO (August 12th, 2025) – The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, in conjunction with the USL Championship, announced today that forward Jonas Fjeldberg has been selected to the Week 23 Team of the Week, presented by Konami eFootball.
Fjeldberg earned the honor following an outstanding performance on Saturday in the Switchbacks’ road victory over the Oakland Roots. The Norwegian standout tallied one goal and one assist, recorded two interceptions, won three duels, and maintained an impressive 83.3% passing accuracy in the opponent’s half.
The Switchbacks opened the scoring in the 43rd minute when Marco Micaletto sliced through Oakland’s back line and connected with Fjeldberg, who turned swiftly and lofted a precise shot over the goalkeeper. Just four minutes into the second half, Fjeldberg was at the heart of the attack again, receiving a pass from Micaletto before finding Quenzi Huerman, who buried a top-corner finish to double the lead.
The victory secured three crucial points for Colorado Springs as they continue their push up the USL Championship standings.
