Lise Klaveness, set to become the second woman on UEFA's Executive Committee, is advocating for urgent protection of European sports values. Since her presidency at Norway's FA, she has highlighted the pressure facing the sports model and the importance of dialogue. Klaveness has spoken out on significant issues, such as human rights violations during the 2022 World Cup preparations and recent conflicts involving Israel and Gaza. She insists on the importance of clarity in communication regarding Norway's stance on boycotting events, especially concerning Qatar.
We should be knowledge based, dialogue based, but really aware that we're in a critical time, where fundamental values are in play for real. It's not just a media headline. The sports model of Europe is now under pressure, more pressure than it has ever been.
It is difficult for us beyond the purely sporting aspect. None of us can remain indifferent to the disproportionate attacks that Israel has subjected the civilian population in Gaza to.
I have been forced to constantly clarify the position of my position and the NFF, as people misunderstood our stance on Qatar.
