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 started as planned at 17.00 on Saturday afternoon. The teams marked what had happened by lining up in the ring in midfield before the start of the match. Here was a minute’s silence in memory of those killed after the shooting in central Oslo. “Be who you are – love who you want” and “Football is for everyone” were the messages where there is usually advertising around the stadium. – We had a dialogue with the police if it was safe. And we quickly came to the conclusion that it was safe and the girls wanted to play the game. But it is a difficult day, says president of the Norwegian Football Association, Lise Klaveness to news. Guro Pettersen has gained confidence from the start between the posts at Ullevaal Stadium. – It was a shock when we woke up this morning, she says about the shooting in Oslo. Will play with mourning band A record number of spectators were expected for the match. 15,000 tickets were sold for the NRK2-broadcast private international match. But it does not seem that so many have turned up for the settlement – 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 Gro Tvedt Anderssen, who is NFF’s director of communication and public relations. – 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 wrote the following on Twitter on Saturday morning: – 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.

Several of the clubs have posted posts with the colors of the rainbow on social media. Rosenborg, who will host Kristiansund at Lerkendal on Saturday, writes that “tonight’s Pride celebration now became even more important”. – I think the whole football is together today and all our thoughts go to the bereaved and relatives. It will be visible in all stadiums. I have seen that several have reported this, says Gro Tvedt Anderssen to news.
