Norway and England go head to head against each other in Miami on Saturday, in the third quarterfinal of FIFA World Cup 2026.
Before kick-off, the players of both teams bunched together shoulder to shoulder around the halfway circle, maintaining a minute’s silence.
The gesture was to pay respect to South Africa footballer Jayden Adams who took his life, just days after playing in the quadrennial tournament.
The midfielder was said to be battling depression through the competition after the death of his grandmother. He was part of the squad that qualified for the knockouts for the first time in the nation’s history.
