Norway's football federation has expressed strong anger over the cancellation of a World Cup 2026 match, calling it a lack of professionalism. The match, which was scheduled against an unnamed opponent, was canceled due to logistical issues, according to reports.
The Norwegian team, a future opponent of France in the tournament, was left frustrated by the decision. The federation's statement highlighted the disruption to their preparation and the disrespect shown to the players and staff.
FIFA has not yet commented on the cancellation. The incident adds to the challenges of organizing the first World Cup to be hosted across three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
