Norway's team chef hosted journalists at a special event, treating them to traditional Norwegian dishes. As previously reported, the Scandinavian squad brought their renowned chef and 1,000 kilograms of food from Norway to their base in Greensboro, North Carolina.
This is a common practice at major tournaments, a strategic move to maintain a strict dietary regimen designed to optimize player performance and recovery throughout the weeks-long competition. Among the provisions were hundreds of kilograms of Atlantic salmon and whitefish, large quantities of brunost – the traditional Norwegian brown cheese – and approximately 6,000 oranges.
Head chef Aron Espeland emphasized that this decision wasn't due to a lack of trust in local cuisine. Instead, it's part of a specially developed diet aimed at maintaining the players' usual routine and making them feel at home.
Norway is set to face Senegal in a Group I match at the New York – New Jersey Stadium on Monday, June 22nd.
