The reason is that several players in Arna-Bjørnar are in quarantine awaiting a response to a crown test.
– Six Arna Bjørnar players are in quarantine. These are individual players who have had close contact with someone outside the team who tested positive for coronavirus, says deputy director Synnøve Tverlid in Arna Bjørnar.
– Several of the players have had symptoms, he says.
Some of the players have received a negative test response, while others are still waiting for a test response. They are still in quarantine, says Tverlid.
– Very unfortunate
It also has consequences for the other matches in Toppserien, as three teams can take the gold before the last round.
No team should have the advantage of being able to bet on other people’s results, so much of the last round of the series has to be postponed.
– It is very tragic to be the team that contributes to the round being postponed. We contacted NFF and notified. We were completely aligned. If they had told us to play, we would have, says Tverlid.
– In the top series, there are six players who are in quarantine because they are being tested. They cannot play and then the match against Vålerenga must be postponed, says women’s Toppfotball general manager Hege Jørgensen.
– Of course, it is very unfortunate that four of the five matches of the last round of the Toppserien series should be postponed, but when almost all the matches are important, competition and fair play must also be taken into account. Therefore, matches should be postponed even if no infection has yet been proven in Arna-Bjørnar, says Nils Fisketjønn, head of the competition department of the Norwegian Football Association in a press release.

Decision of the week
The top series has managed to stay throughout the season. But the day before Vålerenga, Avaldsnes and Rosenborg settled for gold, several games were postponed. All the games that are decisive for the result of the table are postponed. Rosenborg was boarding at Trondheim airport when they got the message.
– All important matches for the result of the table are postponed. We found out when SAS asked to board in Oslo. Then we interrupted our boarding and went home, says sports manager Tarjei Smågesjø to the local Nidaros newspaper.
Therefore, Røa-Kolbotn is only played on Sunday.
– In fact, we have had the luck and the ability that this has not happened before. It’s disgusting that it’s happening now, just before the golden game, says Jørgensen.
When the games will be played now will be decided first in the week.
– It’s a tight schedule, but we’ll make it happen. It will be decided on Monday or Tuesday when the games will be played. In any case, we have to wait until it’s justifiable, says Jørgensen.
