The Norwegian National Team, which will face England in the World Cup quarterfinals, has covered the training ground with black curtains to prevent their tactics from being leaked. The team's secret tactical work can no longer be observed from the outside.
The Norwegian National Team, which will face England in a critical match in the World Cup quarter-finals, has resorted to an extraordinary security measure to prevent their tactics from being leaked by opponents.
BLACK CURTAIN SOLUTION FROM NORWAY
Only the first 15 minutes of the training session held in Fort Lauderdale were opened to the media. Once this time elapsed, the field was completely closed off from the outside world. Officials from the Norwegian Football Federation covered the perimeter of the training field, entrance gates, and all open points visible from the outside with black curtains and tarps. Thanks to this strict measure, any external viewing or filming of the team's secret tactical preparations for the England match was completely prevented.
ENGLAND ALSO KEEPS PRECAUTIONS
Similar secrecy measures have been implemented by the English side throughout the tournament. The English team, under the management of head coach Thomas Tuchel, had previously secured the training ground against potential tactical espionage and drone surveillance risks, conducting some critical tactical sessions completely behind closed doors, away from the press and public.
