Norwegian lawmakers perform the viral “Viking Row” celebration inside parliament to show support for the national football team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. On Thursday, MPs pause proceedings in the parliamentary chamber and carry out the team’s trademark rowing-style gesture, a move that has become widely shared online. The action is reported by multiple outlets as taking place during a parliamentary session, with lawmakers stopping or adjusting the session to join in the celebration. Both reports describe the event as a public display of backing for the team, linking a popular football-related trend to official political settings. The “Viking Row” is associated with Norway’s World Cup team branding and has gained attention through social media. The parliament session resumes following the lawmakers’ participation, according to the reports. The event is portrayed as symbolic support rather than related to any specific policy decision.
