People keep asking me why I support 🇳🇴
Norway didn’t just beat Israel 5–0 behind an Erling Haaland hat-trick.
The Norwegian Football Association donated every net ticket dollar from the match to Doctors Without Borders for emergency medical relief in Gaza. Its president, Lise Klaveness, said the federation “cannot and will not be indifferent” to the humanitarian suffering.
Norway also became one of the few national federations to publicly argue that Israel should face sanctions in international football.
Their 5–0 rout all but ended Israel’s hopes of reaching this World Cup.
Some teams carry the courage to say that human dignity matters beyond the final whistle.
