– This was the best draw you could have hoped for. A crazy good draw, says news’s expert Carl-Erik Torp. On Monday evening, the groups for next year’s European Women’s Football Championship were drawn, where Norway is one of the participating nations. There, Norway ended up in group A with host nation Switzerland, as well as Finland and Iceland. At the same time, Norway avoided all the big nations from the other seeding pots, such as Spain and England. – This changes the narrative. Now it will feel like a setback not to move on, says Torp. He also points out that a possible way forward from the group stage will be very bright, seen from Norwegian eyes. – If you win the group – which there is a good chance of doing – we will face second place from Spain’s group. It will be tough, but manageable opposition, says Torp. The European Football Championship will be played in Switzerland in July next year, where the opening match will be precisely Switzerland-Norway. The championship is broadcast on news and TV 2. Norway has participated in all years, with the exception of one. Twice they have gone all the way to the top; back in 1987 and 1993.
