What the UEFA rules say

Initial novelty:
UPDATE 19:35 » The Norwegian delegation has not yet left Oslo. The charter with which the Nordics had to leave has already taken off to Germany, without the members of Lars Lagerbäck’s team. Currently, the party is in doubt. Normally, the Norwegians would have lost the match on the “green table” if they had not arrived in Romania 24 hours before the match, but, being an exceptional case, they will receive permission to arrive in the Capital even on the day of the match. .
If they don’t do it tomorrow, then it is clear that the game will be decided at the “green table”. There is also the possibility, small, which is true, that the game will move on Monday, but this would lead to more problems. On Monday, the Romanian delegation should depart for Northern Ireland and it is hard to believe that the FRF will agree to reschedule the flight. In addition, the entire “tricolor” program would have turned upside down.
UPDATE 19:02 »The Romanian Football Federation recently announced that it does not yet have additional information on the situation of the Norwegians: “We still have no news of any change in the situation of the Norwegian delegation, it is still in the hotel and is waiting, in turn, for a change of position by the Oslo authorities. Until we know clearly what happens with tomorrow’s game, we do our job and train for revenge! “
The Norwegian delegation was due to take off today for Romania and will land in Bucharest this afternoon, but did not receive the consent of the Oslo authorities to depart.. The decision that the Norwegians could not leave the country was made after right-back Omar Elabdellaoui was declared positive and isolated himself.
The signs from the Norwegian delegation are that the players and staff will not be able to leave today, and have returned to the hotel in Oslo. The Norwegian federation looks for solutions so that the national team arrives on Sunday, match day, in Romania, but it remains to be seen if he can leave the country.
If the match is not played, UEFA may decide that Romania will win at the “green table”, score 1-0 or reschedule the match at a later date, if there are guarantees that things can be arranged in a timely manner.
Meanwhile, the Norwegians canceled their official press conference and training, scheduled for today.
