The friendly match - Norway against the world

The match has become a tradition during the Norway Cup, played on the final court.

- The Friendly Match takes place in the spirit of the Norway Cup. We have always been a colorful community, and valued equality. We want to promote interaction between Norway and the world, between different cultures and between girls and boys, says Toril Kristoffersen, Norway Cup's project leader.
