If you are in Oslo on July 5 and want to watch Norway play Brazil together with thousands of local fans, you have a couple of very good options. Whether you prefer a ticketed event with other supporters or a free public screening in the city center, you can be part of the atmosphere.
If Norway wins, you can also expect celebrations around the city afterward. Large crowds often gather in central Oslo after major sporting victories, so be prepared for busy streets and public transport later in the evening.
Where can you watch the match?
There are two main places to watch the game with other supporters in Oslo.
Ullevaal Stadium
If you want a more organized event, you can watch the match at Ullevaal Stadium. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, with prices starting at around 150 NOK.
Since this is a ticketed event, it is a good idea to buy your ticket in advance rather than expecting availability on the day. Arriving early also gives you more time to get inside before the crowds build up.
Free screening at Oslo City Hall
If you would rather watch the match outdoors without buying a ticket, head to the large screens outside Oslo City Hall (Rådhuset). This is one of the biggest public viewing areas in the city and is expected to attract a large number of supporters.
The atmosphere here can become very lively before kick-off and especially if Norway scores. If you want a good view of the screen, arrive well before the match starts. Standing for the entire game is likely, so wear comfortable shoes.
What should you expect?
Both locations are likely to be busy. Public transport around central Oslo and Ullevaal Stadium may also be more crowded than usual before and after the match.
Weather in Oslo can change quickly, even during summer. If you choose the outdoor screening at City Hall, check the forecast before leaving. Bringing a light waterproof jacket is often a good idea if rain is possible.
If you are watching outdoors, remember that you will be standing outside for the duration of the match. Bring water if it is a warm day, and dress according to the weather rather than the calendar.
What happens if Norway wins?
No one can predict exactly where supporters will celebrate, but if Norway wins you should expect spontaneous gatherings in central Oslo.
After previous victories, fans gathered near the Royal Palace to celebrate together. Similar celebrations could happen again, although the exact locations will depend on how the evening develops.
If you plan to stay out after the match, be prepared for crowded streets and possible delays on buses, trams, and the metro as many people leave at the same time.
Can you watch the match online?
Yes. The match will also be available through the Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

Which option is best?
If you want the biggest public celebration without spending money, the free screening at Oslo City Hall is the obvious choice. Expect large crowds, plenty of noise, and a festive atmosphere throughout the match.
If you prefer a more structured event and do not mind paying for admission, Ullevaal Stadium is another excellent option with tickets starting at around 150 NOK.
Whichever option you choose, arrive early, expect plenty of fellow supporters, and be ready for a memorable evening if Norway delivers a strong performance against Brazil.
