Norway brings in security expert to protect national team players

The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) has brought in a new security expert, Svein Endre Grønnesby, to help protect national team players amid increased public attention following the World Cup. Grønnesby, a senior adviser at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with extensive PST experience, joins the team for the Nations League trip to Wales and Portugal. NFF maintains its two-person security setup, with Grønnesby's role to be evaluated continuously. Fans have increasingly gathered at hotels and stadiums, primarily seeking Erling Haaland's autograph, prompting escorted player arrivals. Grønnesby's background includes recruiting security advisers for high-risk posts like Kyiv and Beirut.
