The deadline for submitting proposals for issues to be considered at Sunday’s soccer meeting had to come 16 weeks before the federal parliament.
But even though the deadline for submitting case proposals to parliament expired in November last year, Football Norway may decide on a boycott of Qatar in the football parliament later today.
These are the preconditions for a Qatari boycott of the football parliament:
- Bank suggestions
- 2/3 must vote yes for the boycott to be voted in parliament
The Football Parliament is the supreme body of Football Norway. This is where all the laws and regulations of the association are adopted. Since a possible proposal for a Norwegian boycott of the Qatar World Cup is not a legislative amendment, a majority will be sufficient to make a decision.
At the same time, the Norwegian Football Association, which does not expect a vote on a global boycott on Saturday, wants to postpone the decision and has announced something extraordinary on Sunday, June 20 where the Qatar issue will be the main topic.
– We will shed light on all aspects of the question of a possible boycott and we will make a good presentation of the case. It will be a broad-based commission that we have not decided yet, that will work on the issue, said the president of football, Terje Svendsen, on the extraordinary.
However, a boycott of Qatar could be the theme of Sunday’s football if it emerges as a bench proposal and the final analysis adopts Sunday’s theme.
The decisions of the football parliament are binding on the board and the administration of the NFF.
Martin Ødegaard, the new captain of the Norwegian national team, hopes that Norwegian football will not be boycotted by the World Cup.
– Personally, I think it is better to avoid a boycott and be present. We are a country that has not been in a championship for more than twenty years. If we boycotted before a qualifier starts, I’m not sure how much attention it would have gotten. Of course it attracts attention, but I think there are other ways to do it to reinforce the message.
The director of the national team, Ståle Solbakken, also does not want the boycott of Qatar to be the result of Sunday’s football meeting.
– It’s complicated, super difficult. And I may be a bit naive, but I still have humanity’s little belief that if we are in there and use the right tools then we can get things going in the right direction. I think it can work better, says Solbakken.
In an important TV 2 interview earlier this week, Solbakken did not mention specific measures on the direct question, but during the TV 2 interview, however, he did describe several concrete opportunities for influence:
- – I think we are entering 20 critical months in which we can put extreme focus on conditions in Qatar. It might hurt now, but it can make people feel better in the long run, Solbakken says.
- – A requirement that I think can be good is, for example, to open up so that journalists travel freely in Qatar and ask, dig and create their own conditions to think. Of course, it is very late, but it is an opening that I think many have seen as a big step forward, says Solbakken.
- – I also believe that we as a national team can create actions. We can invent things for the world to see. Sport can send signals, as the Black Lives Matter campaign shows, among other things, says Solbakken.
The FIFA World Cup in Qatar will take place between November 21 and December 18, 2022.
