Norway is working hard on Sunday to find a “national team in crisis” that can play the Nations League game scheduled for Wednesday against Austria.
But even if it goes in the box, there has been no automaticity in that match it will be played
On Tuesday, Austria closes the country and enters a “lockdown” that Norway has not been close to so far. Austrian importers include a 24-hour curfew. Only the most necessary errands will be legal.
But: It does not affect the planned international match between Austria and Norway, according to UEFA TV 2.
– Austria is closing, but the sport can still continue on a professional level. The message we have received is that this will not affect Wednesday’s game. It is up to Norway if there is a match now, Dietmar Bautz reports in UEFA to TV 2.
In the Norwegian Football Association, Gro Tvedt Anderssen has also not heard anything to indicate that the match should not be resolved.
This could be the national emergency team: – Ironically, it can save Norway.
Norway is working hard
Bautz at UEFA aims to see if Norway actually manages to present a national team for that match as the Norwegian authorities have refused to allow the original team to play the matches against Romania and Austria.
On Sunday, the Norwegian Football Association is working hard to be able to present teams in Austria on Wednesday.
– I know that several of my colleagues are working to watch that match now to see what we can find solutions, says Gro Tvedt Anderssen.
Due to Norwegian quarantine rules, it is basically Norwegian players abroad who are most relevant to such a national team.
– Can it still be relevant to ask the Elite Series players to “sacrifice themselves” and self-quarantine?
– We just have to look at it. In the conversations in which I have participated, several things have been discussed. It will probably be worked on throughout the day. It’s too early to say much about it, says Gro Tvedt Anderssen on TV 2 just after 9 a.m. on Sunday.
The clear ambition of the NFF remains to be able to field a team against Austria on Sunday.
– Yes, at least we want to see if it was a real possibility. We wanted it yesterday too, but then it was too short a deadline for us, he says.
She believes that the criticism that Norway should already be thinking of an alternative selection for the Romania party has failed.
– We agreed to travel on Friday by the authority with which we will deal according to protocol. When the Norwegian Health Directorate set foot on Saturday, we started looking for an alternative solution. But then there just wasn’t enough time for that, she says.
