Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested outside the Uleval Stadium in Oslo today, ahead of a World Cup qualifying match between Norway and Israel.

About a thousand protesters arrived from downtown Oslo to the stadium, where they reportedly planned to stay until the start of the game, Norwegian public service reported.

The protesters carried torches, flags and a banner about the war in Gaza.

Due to strict security measures, 3.000 spectators were able to enter the stadium.

Several dozen fans remained outside the stadium to continue the protest after the start of the game.

When the game started, fans unfurled a Palestinian flag and a banner that read "Let the children live."

Some fans jeered the Israeli anthem, while others raised red cards.

On Friday, the president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, appealed for calm ahead of Israel's qualifying matches, after Israel and Hamas accepted US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan.

Last week, pro-Palestinian protesters approached the Italian national team's training center in Florence, demanding that the match not take place. It was part of a nationwide strike, during which millions of activists across the country took to the streets.
