The Norwegian Football Federation has announced that all proceeds generated from the ticket sales of the World Cup 2026 qualifying match against Israel will be donated to humanitarian aid efforts in the Gaza Strip. According to a post shared by RTN Miami on Instagram, the collected funds are earmarked for distribution to established medical and humanitarian organizations actively working on the ground. These organizations include Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which is providing essential healthcare and vital assistance to civilians impacted by the ongoing conflict.
In an official statement, the Norwegian Football Federation stated that the primary objective of this initiative is to offer tangible support to populations confronting a severe humanitarian crisis, irrespective of the political context. The decision has prompted a range of responses within public discourse. The Federation’s commitment focuses solely on providing material support for humanitarian needs, ensuring the resources reach reputable bodies on the ground.
This action channels the revenue generated from the sporting event toward direct aid efforts, aiming to assist those most affected by the crisis in Gaza. The funds are intended to bolster the operational capacity of aid groups providing medical care and general support services to the civilian population.
