Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon joined thousands of jubilant fans outside the royal palace in Oslo to celebrate Norway’s historic 2-1 win over Brazil in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. Wearing a Norway scarf, the Crown Prince took part in a mass “Viking Row” alongside fans as an estimated 50,000 people watched the match at Rådhusplassen, the square outside Oslo’s town hall, with reports suggesting over 100,000 fans hit the capital’s streets in celebration overall. The win, powered by a second-half brace from Erling Haaland, marks Norway’s best-ever World Cup finish and their first appearance at the tournament since 1998. Norway will next face England in the quarter-finals.
