Norway\u2019s preparations for their World Cup showdown against England in Miami involved an unexpected hotel change after the team found their accommodation unsatisfactory, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

The Scandinavian side stunned Brazil 2-1<\/a> last week to claim a spot in the quarterfinals, while Harry Kane\u2019s side inflicted a rare 3-2 defeat<\/a> on Mexico to set up the showdown on Saturday at Miami Stadium.<\/p>\n

According to Yahoo Sports, the team spent just one night at The Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale before deciding to leave after players complained about excessive noise due to construction outside the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some things that could have been better, and we fixed them,\u201d captain Martin Odegaard was quoted as saying by The Mirror. \u201cJust to optimise and prepare ourselves as best as possible for an important match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norway\u2019s team logistics manager, Truls Daehli, said: \u201cIt is brutal having to move, but we are satisfied with the new place, and everyone is happy now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people might fear that this will affect the players, but it was the players who wanted this more than anyone else,\u201d The Mirror quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n

He added that the support team helped get the move done in two-and-a-half hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of changing hotel is not ideal, but we wanted to take action as soon as possible. Having a good atmosphere is most important.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to stay for a week in Miami, and we have now been for six weeks in the United States, and we are going to play in the biggest match in Norwegian history. We have avoided cabin fever so far, and don\u2019t want any risk of it now. FIFA have accepted that we must move to another hotel,\u201d Daehli said.<\/p>\n

According to BeIN Sports, the move was also sparked by hygiene issues.<\/p>\n

Per the outlet, FIFA responded immediately by facilitating the move and will reportedly cover most of the relocation costs.<\/p>\n

Norway\u2019s talisman Erling Haaland said the decision was made to ensure that the team is fully prepared for the most important match the country has ever played.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the biggest match in our history, and we need to be at 100 percent,\u201d BeIN Sports quoted the 25-year-old as saying.<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged that although the move was far from easy, \u201cFIFA understood our request. The move was chaotic, but now, everyone is happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was reported that several members of the team were dealing with illness, although head coach Stale Solbakken quickly dismissed the rumours, according to BeIN Sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team spent just one night at their hotel before deciding to leave due to excessive construction noise.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[57,123,125,124,197,4571,4572,24215],"class_list":["post-335364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-football","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-sport","tag-united-states","tag-us-canada","tag-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
