Hundreds of protesters marched towards the national stadium in Oslo ahead of the World Cup qualifier between Norway and Israel to voice their opposition to the visitors’ continued participation in the qualifying process due to the war in Gaza.

Outside the Norwegian parliament, hundreds of pro-Palestine supporters gathered to protest, with many wearing the jerseys of the Palestine national team.

“The match should not have been played. If Russia is expelled, then Israel should be expelled as well. But when the match is played, the best thing Norway could do is destroy Israel’s hopes for the World Cup,” said Norway fan Johan, who was dressed in a Palestine jersey.

“It’s a match with a bittersweet taste.”

Marching towards Ullevaal Stadium with Palestinian flags and flares, the protesters gathered outside, vowing to continue until kick-off as nearby buildings displayed pro-Palestinian banners hanging from balconies.

Security was tight around the stadium, with police closing several entrances hours before the match started, conducting bag searches and reducing the number of spectators allowed in.

Norway won the Group I match 5-0 with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick despite missing the same penalty twice after it had to be retaken because of the goalkeeper being off his line. The hosts now have 18 points while third-placed Israel have nine.

Some Norwegian supporters appeared unconcerned about the political background to the match, seeing it only as another hurdle to qualify for their first World Cup since 1998.

“We are going to watch Norway basically qualify tonight and it’s going to be great night,” one fan said.

A Palestinian flag was unfurled inside the stadium early in the game along with a banner which read “Let Children Live.”

A protestor wearing a “Free Gaza” T-shirt disrupted the match by running onto the pitch. He was then wrestled to the ground by security and escorted off.

Israel play their next qualifier against Italy in Udine on Tuesday. The city is on high alert with a pro-Palestinian march due to be held just hours before the game. There was a march in Rome on Saturday with protesters carrying a “Show Israel the red card” banner.

More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza, launched after Hamas-led militants stormed through Israeli towns and a music festival on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and capturing 251 hostages.

Israeli troops began withdrawing on Friday under a peace agreement, which is the first phase of US president Donald Trump’s plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
