Norway will change the hotel of the World Cup teams in Miami days before England | World Cup 2026

The group spent only one night at their hotel before deciding to leave due to construction noise.

Norway’s preparations for their World Cup match against England in Miami involved an unexpected hotel change after the team found their accommodation uncomfortable, according to media reports.

Part of Scandinavia stunned Brazil 2-1 last week to take a place in the quarterfinals, where Harry Kane’s team did something unusual 3-2 defeat in Mexico to set up a show on Saturday at Miami Stadium.

According to Yahoo Sports, the team spent just one night at The Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale before deciding to leave after players complained about excessive noise due to construction outside the building.

“There were some things that could have been better, and we fixed them,” captain Martin Odegaard was quoted as saying by The Mirror. “Just getting it done and getting ourselves as ready as we can for the important games.”

Norway’s team manager, Truls Daehli, said: “It is cruel to move, but we are satisfied with the new place, and everyone is happy now.

“Some people may fear that this will affect the players, but it is the players who want this more than anyone else,” he told The Mirror.

He said that the support team was able to make this happen in two and a half hours.

“The process of changing a hotel is not good, but we wanted to do something quickly.” Having a good environment is very important.

“We will stay for a week in Miami, and now we have stayed for six weeks in the United States, and we will play the biggest game in the history of Norway. We have avoided the heat of the cabin so far, and we do not want to risk it now. FIFA has agreed that we have to move to another hotel,” said Daehli.

According to BeIN Sports, the move was also sparked by cleanliness issues.

According to the release, FIFA responded immediately and regulated the transfer and said it would pay a large transfer fee.

Norwegian coach Erling Haaland said the decision was made to ensure the team is well prepared for the most important game the country has ever played.

“It’s the biggest game in our history, and we have to be 100 percent,” BeIN Sports quoted the 25-year-old as saying.

He also admitted that although the move was not easy, “FIFA understood our request. The move was confusing, but now, everyone is happy.”

Earlier, it was reported that several members of the team were ill, although head coach Stale Solbakken dismissed the rumours, according to BeIN Sports.
