@winga.matata: Norway's national team performed the famous "Viking Row" celebration with their fans after their 3-2 victory against Senegal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Captain Martin Ødegaard beat a drum while players sat on the pitch alongside forward Erling Haaland and their official supporters, performing rowing motions in a longboat formation. The celebration quickly gained attention across the country, with even the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) taking a break from formal proceedings to perform the viral "Viking Row." Led from the speaker's podium by parliamentary president Masud Gharahkhani, lawmakers synchronized their rowing motions in their seats and concluded with a loud cheer to support the national football team during the World Cup. The "Viking Row" celebration symbolizes unity, collective strength, and a shared national identity rooted in Norway's seafaring heritage. In ancient Viking longships, everyone had to pull their oars in the exact same rhythm. If just one person was out of sync, the ship would lose direction or stall. Translated to football, it represents fans and players acting as "one crew" to push the team forward. #norway🇳🇴 #vikings#celebration #worldcup#football
