Key Takeaways

• Norwegian national team shirts sold out before the quarter-finals
• Norway's World Cup shirts have been sold out, as a result of huge fan interest ahead of the quarter-final match against England.
• Erling Haaland remains central to Noruega's plans.

Official retailers in Europe have sold out of Norwegian national team football shirts ahead of the upcoming World Cup quarter-final in which Norway will face England. The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) admitted that it had underestimated demand for the kits, which have remained unavailable in Nike stores and other distributors since their launch in March. Huge interest in players such as Erling Haaland, fueled by Norway's victory over Brazil, means that stores are besieged whenever a new shipment of shirts arrives. Some fans spend the night in front of stores to be first in line to buy. “Demand from fans has exceeded all forecasts,” commercial director Runar Pahr Andresen told Norwegian broadcaster TV2, adding that orders have reached record levels this year. The Torshov Sport store in Oslo received a new batch of Norwegian national team shirts on Tuesday, which caused huge queues on Wednesday. Local reporters estimated the line to be about 600 meters long, and some eager fans brought chairs to wait in line for up to 12 hours. Store manager Anders Lilleberg told local media that the atmosphere was amazing.  The store is now inviting fans to register for its next shipment, but cannot guarantee that all jerseys will be available in time for Saturday's big game. Andresen admitted that the union has "never made more" from T-shirt sales than it does now. This year's order amounted to approximately PLN 250,000. pieces, which is a record compared to 50 thousand. T-shirts sold in the same period last year. The team's official jersey, red with the blue cross of the Norwegian flag, has been sold out at Nike and many other outlets for several weeks. A Nike spokesman told the BBC the company "understands the disappointment" of fans and is working to improve availability. Additional deliveries of Home Match and Stadium Norway shirts are availablecurrently expected in the coming days, followed by "wider availability". However, some fans have decided to act on their own and are paying high prices to get the shirt. The Nike Norway 2026 Stadium Home Shirt was originally priced at £89.99 but is currently fetching prices of up to £355 on some resale sites, while the black away shirt is selling for £231. Norway defeated Iraq, Senegal, Ivory Coast and most recently Brazil to advance to the quarter-finals. The quarter-final match against England will take place on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami at 10 p.m. BST (5 p.m. EST).

What happens next

Due to the great interest, the Norwegian Football Association plans to deliver further batches of shirts, but cannot guarantee their availability before Saturday's match. Fans who sign up for new shipments may have a chance to purchase, but face intense competition. The match against England will be crucial for Norway, and the team's success may further increase demand for T-shirts and other World Cup accessories.
