A viral clip has surfaced showing Prince Sverre Magnus celebrating Norway’s victory over Ivory Coast in the World Cup quarter-final. The footage, released by NRK, captures the prince in his national team jersey aboard a crowded Oslo Metro train, surrounded by jubilant supporters clad in red, white, and blue. He can be seen clapping, grinning broadly, and seemingly caught up in the excitement of the moment. The clip was reportedly taken shortly after Norway secured their place in the round of 16 with a 2-1 win against Ivory Coast on June 30.
The video shows Prince Sverre Magnus seated near the back of a long line of supporters stretching across much of the train car. Alongside other passengers, he claps, cheers, and joins in as the group rows in unison. It remains unclear where the prince watched the match or who he was with during his time on the train. Additionally, there is no information about whether he was accompanied by personal security personnel.
The incident highlights the prince’s active participation in supporting Norwegian football, a role he has played throughout the tournament. Earlier this month, Prince Sverre Magnus and Princess Ingrid Alexandra were present in the United States when Norway defeated Senegal 3-2 in the group stage on June 23. This latest appearance further underscores the prince’s visibility in public life, especially since he returned to Norway earlier this year after spending time in Italy. Since then, he has been frequently seen accompanying Crown Prince Haakon on official engagements.
The excitement surrounding Norway’s progress in the World Cup has also sparked a surge in travel interest among Norwegians. According to August Grønli, director of Finn Reise, there has been a historic increase in searches for destinations, particularly towards the United States and New York. On the day Norway qualified for the quarter-finals, search traffic for New York increased by 653 percent compared to the previous day. Grønli believes many Norwegians are eager to experience the atmosphere around the matches, even without securing tickets to the games themselves.
Miami also saw a doubling of search inquiries compared to the previous day, likely due to the possibility of Norway facing Brazil in the upcoming semi-final. If Norway advances past Brazil, the quarter-final will take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. This has led to a significant shift in travel trends, with the United States and New York rising to second place in terms of popular destinations, pushing Spain down to third.
The surge in demand for travel has also affected flight bookings. Catharina Solli, press officer at Norwegian Airlines, noted a 400 percent increase in ticket sales from Oslo to Amsterdam and London between 7 PM yesterday and 7 AM today. Similarly, SAS reports that all direct flights from Oslo to New York have sold out following Erling Haaland’s dramatic goal in the 86th minute of Norway’s victory over Ivory Coast. Communication chief Øystein Schmidt described the phenomenon as "Fofo" – a term used to describe the fear of missing out on the World Cup experience.
In response to the growing demand, Norse Atlantic Airlines announced plans to operate a special direct flight from Oslo to New York for the quarter-final match on Sunday, July 5. The flight will depart from Oslo on Friday evening and arrive in New York later that night local time. This move aims to accommodate the large number of Norwegians hoping to attend the game in person.
Meanwhile, the royal family continues to make headlines. Both Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus are scheduled to attend the quarter-final match between Norway and Brazil in New York on July 5, according to the Royal House calendar. This marks their second visit to New York in a short period, having previously attended the group stage match against Senegal on June 22. Their presence underscores the significance of the tournament for both the royal family and the broader Norwegian public.
As the World Cup progresses, the enthusiasm and travel fever show no signs of abating. With each victory, more Norwegians are drawn into the excitement, seeking ways to immerse themselves in the global spectacle. Whether through attending matches in person or simply following the action from afar, the spirit of Norwegian football is clearly alive and well. The coming days will reveal how this momentum translates into continued success on the pitch and further engagement from fans around the world.
