– After dialogue with the police, the fight today goes as planned. The police will increase preparedness around the stadium, says Gro Tvedt Anderssen, director of communication and public relations for news. Following the shooting near the London pub in Oslo on Saturday night, events related to Oslo Pride have been canceled following recommendations from the police. But the international match at Ullevaal Stadium will go as usual. Will play with mourning bandages A record number of spectators are expected. On Friday, NFF confirmed that they had sold just over 15,000 tickets for the news-broadcast private international match. – What will it be like to play a match on a day like this? – Today, the entire Norwegian Football Association should take part in celebrating the right to love whoever you want and participate in the parade under the tab «Be who you want, love who you want». Football must be for everyone. On a day like this, of course, our thoughts go to survivors and relatives. We stand with you, says Anderssen and adds: – We had already planned markings at Ullevaal Stadium, and I feel that today they are extra important. The women’s national team has announced that they will play with mourning ribbons and that they will all wear a pride captain’s armband during the march. There will also be a moment of silence in the stadium. STRONG MESSAGE: Caroline Graham Hansen posted a strong text on Twitter after the shooting in Oslo.

We must stand together, Klaveness writes. Norway and Barcelona star Caroline Graham Hansen writes the following on Twitter: – To hate another human being so much that you want them dead, because they show love scares the life out of me. It does not make sense. Today should be such a great day for love. All love.

It will be visible in all stadiums. I have seen that several have reported this, says Gro Tvedt Anderssen to news.
