Norway is preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-final against England, scheduled for Saturday, July 11th in Miami. As the team prepares for one of the biggest matches in Norwegian football history, the players face their first hurdle. The goal was to ensure sufficient rest before this important showdown.
After spending the night in Miami, the Norwegian team chose to leave the Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale and move to a hotel closer to Hard Rock Stadium. The decision was made after several players raised concerns with team management about the constant noise and disruption from nearby construction sites and the amount of traffic outside their rooms.
According to Yahoo Sports, FIFA was made aware of the pre-match commotion and allowed Norway to relocate so they could prepare in a quieter environment.

“It’s cruel to have to move, but we’re happy with our new location and everyone is happy now,” Norway’s logistics manager Turs Daali said, as reported by Yahoo Sports. “Some may have worried that this would distract the players, but it was the teams themselves who pushed for this change.”
Norway, playing in the World Cup for the first time in 28 years, are on the brink of making history as they prepare for their first quarter-final match against England on July 11 at Miami Stadium in Gardens, Florida.
