Norway’s team has expressed concerns regarding the condition of the playing surface at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where they are scheduled to compete in the World Cup. The Norwegian Football Federation has formally raised the issue with FIFA, citing concerns about player safety due to the hard and uneven field. Reports indicate the field was recently used for a concert, potentially contributing to the problematic conditions. France, Norway’s upcoming opponent, shares the same venue and is likely monitoring the situation. FIFA is currently assessing the field and considering potential remedies before the match. The concerns center on the increased risk of injury for players competing on the surface. Both teams were scheduled to train on the pitch prior to the game.
