Later in the season, the team would represent Norway at the 2018 World Men's Curling Championship, where they finished in fifth place.

Vågberg returned to the Worlds in 2021 at the 2021 World Men's Curling Championship where his team of skip Steffen Walstad, third Torger Nergård and second Markus Høiberg finished in eighth with a 7–6 record.[3]
