Could there be more mass celebrations in Norway in the future? After the Norwegian men's national team's historic World Cup quarter-final, several parties in parliament are now open to the idea of organising football championships in the country.

The Socialist Left Party, the Christian Democratic Party and the Centre Party are all positive about an application - if Norway is co-hosting with other countries.

The Conservative, Red and Labour parties do not reject the idea, according to the news agency NTB, but emphasise that Norway currently lacks stadiums and infrastructure.

The Progress Party, on the other hand, says it is "very skeptical" of a Norwegian World Cup.
