Fellow travelers and supporters

Relevant information for fellow travelers and supporters during Norway Cup.

Fellow travelers

Norway Cup wants as many parents/guardians/siblings as possible to have the opportunity to participate in Norway Cup to support their respective children and at the same time have a great trip to Oslo and Norway Cup. We therefore offer separate packages for traveling companions so that they can follow the team. Travel companions can, on the same level as the participants, purchase both H-cards, Norway Cup cards 1 & 2. Travel companions then receive the same benefits through the card as the team they follow.

At least one person over the age of 20 must accompany the team at their assigned school or hotel. Parents/guardians must register these chaperones when booking for the team, as Norway Cup will send invoices directly to the team or club.

Parental Code of Conduct

  • These rules have been developed by the Norwegian Football Federation.
  • Show up for training and matches - the children want you there
  • Encourage all players – not just your own child
  • Provide encouragement in good times and bad
  • Respect the coach/team manager's use of players - you can give serious input after the match
  • See the referee as a guide – respect their decisions
  • Stimulate and encourage your child to participate – don't pressure
  • Ask if the match was fun and exciting – not just about the result
  • Ensure proper and sensible equipment – ​​but don't overdo it
  • Show respect for the club's work – attend parent meetings to clarify attitudes and ambitions
  • Remember that it is your child who is playing football – not you.
  • Show respect for others – don't smoke on the sidelines
