Royal gift from the FIFA president
The article reports that Prince Sverre Magnus and Princess Ingrid Alexandra received World Cup balls from FIFA President Gianni Infantino during an official visit to the United States. The official match ball costs 1,749 Norwegian kroner at XXL, though cheaper versions are available for around 300 kroner. E24 has attempted to contact the Prime Minister’s office to inquire about gifts received by government representatives but has not yet received a response. The royal siblings were among the most prominent spectators at Norway's Viking tour in the U.S., attending a crucial victory against Senegal. The palace confirmed that they received the balls as gifts during their meeting with Infantino. The article also mentions internal communications between the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding planned high-level visits and potential gift-giving protocols by FIFA.
