Logistics chief Truls Dæhli cites construction noise as the catalyst for the move as the tournament nears its decisive stage

The Norwegian national football team has vacated its hotel in Miami after a series of construction activities generated persistent noise and disruption around the venue. Logistics manager Truls Dæhli confirmed the relocation but offered no detailed explanation, leaving the precise trigger of the move unclear.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, expanded to a record 48‑team format, will feature 104 matches spread across 16 host cities in Mexico, Canada and the United States. The competition is scheduled to culminate on July 19, with the championship game set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Among the remaining fixtures, Norway’s quarterfinal showdown with England is slated for Saturday, July 11. Ticket prices for the final Miami‑area matches range from $3,400 to $5,500, reflecting the high demand for the tournament’s closing stages.

Broadcast coverage will be anchored by Fox, which holds the U.S. rights to every World Cup match and will air each game on Fox One as well as the Fox Sports App. In addition, all matches will be streamed live on Peacock, while Spanish‑language viewers can tune in via Telemundo and its streaming partner Peacock.
