The Norway national football team is set to play in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and this will affect many employees who will be watching the matches at night. Consumer TV 2 helps you understand what you can do if you have to go to work the day after a World Cup match. HR lecturer Elin Ørjasæter at Høyskolen Kristiania says that it's not okay to come late to work without prior agreement. But she believes that there are exceptions, especially for employees with independent positions. Norway's first World Cup match in the USA against Iraq starts at midnight Norwegian time on June 17. A week later, the Norwegian players will meet Senegal, and this match will not start until 2 am. Labor expert Trine Larsen, senior recruitment advisor and managing director of Hammer & Hanborg, believes that employers have a responsibility now before the World Cup. She says that leaders must think through how things can be organized and give a message to their employees. Larsen emphasizes that this is not about being a party pooper, but about taking responsibility as a captain. She points out that it's not just about one day after, but potentially a whole month of World Cup matches with a need for clear leadership.
