Norway's matches at Folkefesten now have an 18-year age limit. This comes after the organizer has had experiences with adults not adhering to the rules of the guardian system.

What happened?

The organizer has decided to introduce an age limit of 18 years on Norway's matches after they have had problems with partying and intoxication among young people.

Why now?

The decision comes after Norway played against the Netherlands on March 27 and lost 2-1. Norway now has a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last three matches.

Next match

Norway will play against Portugal on September 27. | Date | Opponent | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-03-27 | Netherlands | 2-1 loss |

Organizer's reasoning

The organizer claims that the decision is to prevent young people from being exposed to partying and intoxication. They believe that there is too high a party factor at Norway's matches and that it is not justifiable to have an open area for children and young people.
