Moi Elyounoussi and Kris Ajer took part in another Human Rights protest before Norway played Turkey in a World Cup qualifier.
Hosting the tournament in Qatar has caused a storm of protest with Human Right’s groups deeply concerned about a number of issues in the country with thousands of workers imported to construct stadiums that seem unlikely to have any purpose after next year’s competition.
Norway staged a similar protest before Wednesday’s match away to Gibraltar and were joined by the German national side who also made their concerns known.

Holland joined the protests before their match with Latvia tonight but it seems that the Human Rights issue hasn’t been discussed by the SFA or FA.
In Norway there has been talk among politicians about whether their national side should be competing in a tournament when the prize is to play in Qatar.
At half-time Norway were trailing 2-0 to Turkey.
