Members of the Norwegian parliament briefly suspended a session on Thursday to participate in a viral social media trend supporting the national football team during the World Cup. The celebration, known as the “Viking Row,” mimics a rowing motion and has gained popularity online as a display of national pride. Lawmakers from multiple parties joined in the impromptu performance, demonstrating cross-party support for the team. Video footage of the event quickly circulated on social media, attracting both praise and some criticism. The gesture highlights the widespread enthusiasm for the World Cup within Norway. The session resumed shortly after the demonstration of solidarity. This public display underscores the cultural impact of the tournament and the team’s ability to unite the nation.
