The Norwegian Football Federation is awaiting a final decision on the recommendation of the Ministry of Health and has postponed the takeoff of the flight to Bucharest, although officials are aware of the consequences.
The Romania – Norway match is scheduled for Sunday at the National Arena.
“I asked the team not to leave Norway until further notice. There are different interpretations of the current legislation. If we don’t travel, we are violating UEFA rules.
We lose the opportunity to win the group in the League of Nations and reach a group of superior value that would benefit us in the draw for the preliminaries of the World Championship.
There will also be financial repercussions, and UEFA will not welcome the fact that we are the first not to appear in a match.“It was the reaction of Terje Svendsen, president of the Oslo federation.
