Despite never playing in the first tier of Norwegian football at any point of his career, Aasgaard was selected for the Norway National team in 1960, having previously been a youth international.[3] Aasgaard played one match for the senior national team, a 6–3 win against Finland on 28 August 1960. This match is also notable because 17-year-old Roald Jensen scored in the first half, becoming Norway's youngest-ever goalscorer.[4]
