The European Football Federation UEFA decided on Saturday to cancel the game between Romania and Norway in the Nations League, which would be played on Sunday. Norwegian right back Omar Elabdellaoui tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, and Norwegian health authorities are demanding that the entire team go into quarantine for ten days. “The match cannot be played”, UEFA confirmed on the Nations League website.
The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) is grappling with the problem. The team was originally scheduled to fly to Bucharest on Saturday, but that trip was postponed for the time being. The UEFA rules stipulate that if the Norwegians do not come to Romania, a forfeit victory will be awarded to the Romanians. The Norwegian Football Association wants to avoid that. The rest of the Norwegian player group has already been tested four times and all other tests turned out to be negative.
In any case, the team would fly to Romania with its own charter plane and then travel with its own bus to the hotel and stay isolated there.
However, the Norwegian health services warn that even with a negative test, players can already be infected. Antwerp spear Simen Juklerod (26) was called up in Norway. Earlier this week, an exhibition game between the Norwegian national team and Israel’s was canceled due to a corona case at the Israelis.
