Lillestrøm Sportsklubb is dependent on predictability to ensure fair competition. But predictability is not just about sports preparations. It's also about people. About the thousands of fans who book trips, flights, buses, and hotels to follow their team, and those who make this possible through volunteer work in fan clubs. It's about pitches that are ready for the start of the season in March, but will only be used in mid-April. It's about parents who have to combine family life with match-day duties that are suddenly no longer match days. And it's about volunteers in the clubs who have to coordinate security, ticket sales, and arrangements. This is an effort that Norwegian football cannot do without. Organizing an elite series match requires hundreds of volunteer hours. It requires planning in good time, both for security reasons and out of respect for the volunteers who turn up night after night, year after year. When match dates are changed at short notice, the entire apparatus has to start planning all over again. This is not sustainable. We do not want a schedule without room for flexibility and European success. But we believe that the time has come to look at the current practice. Moving the Cup cannot be touted as a solution to match chaos when the result so far has been the opposite. The home tournaments must, in our view, be prioritized more clearly. And all planning must start with what benefits the whole. Lillestrøm Sportsklubb believes that the Football Association, Norsk Toppfotball, and the clubs together must now ensure a stable schedule where the interests of fair competition, fan community, volunteerism, and fan experience weigh more heavily than they do today. Norwegian football is built from the bottom up – not from the top down. We owe it to all those who contribute, both on the tribune and behind the scenes, to ensure that the matches are played when they are scheduled.
