Norway's team doctor Ola Sand is concerned about the heat the Norwegian players have to train in before the match against Brazil. It's over 30 degrees and the humidity is extremely high in New Jersey where Sunday's match will be played.
What's happening with the heat?
Norway's team doctor Ola Sand says it's almost irresponsible to play in such conditions. – I think it's on the verge of being irresponsible, but Fifa has no other limit, he says.
How is Norway preparing?
Norway has shared its concerns about the heat with Fifa. – We have sent messages, and I know that many have sent concerns to Fifa, and they haven't done anything, says Sand.

What do Solbakken and Berg say?
Norway's manager Ståle Solbakken and player Patrick Berg are not very concerned about the heat. – You take care, but it's going well, says Solbakken. – Of course it's hot and hotter than we're used to, but I think it's going to go great, says Berg.
Norway plays against Brazil on Sunday at 22.00. It's also reported to be hot weather, but there's also a chance of rain. Norway has a recent form of 1W-1D-1L and plays against Portugal at home on 2026-09-27.
