Why can't Norwegian football enter the World Cup?

The reason why Norwegian football can't enter the World Cup is that some people boycotted the 2022 World Cup.

On June 17, the British media "Mirror" reported that the Norwegian Football Association may be severely punished by FIFA for boycotting the 2022 World Cup. FIFA's attitude is very clear. Boycott is equivalent to quitting. Norway will no longer participate in the European qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and may be banned from participating in the 2026 World Cup. If so, Harland, the most popular football star, will miss two consecutive World Cups.

The reason why Norwegian Football Association boycotted the 2022 World Cup;

The Norwegian Football Association has always believed that the World Cup should not be held in Qatar because the human rights situation of Qatari workers is very worrying. In February this year, The Guardian reported that since Qatar won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar, most of them from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. According to Norwegian media NRK, the Norwegian Football Association will hold a vote on Sunday to decide whether to boycott the 2022 World Cup next winter.

According to the previous survey, 50% of Norwegians choose to boycott, another 26% of Norwegians think that they should not boycott, and 24% of them are uncertain. Once the Norwegian Football Association finally chooses to boycott the 2022 World Cup, they will withdraw from the European qualifiers.

The Norwegian Football Association said in a statement: "FIFA is very aware that they want to equate boycotting with quitting the competition, which means that Norway will no longer participate in the qualifiers." In the previous European preliminaries, Norway defeated Gibraltar and Montenegro respectively, and lost to Turkey 0-3 on March.
