The 7 best Norway fan 'Viking row' performances during the World Cup

[ASFN Admin]

There have been some amazing, funny, quirky fan things to come out of the 2026 World Cup from the new obsession with ranch dressing to Europeans being mind-blown by Buc-ee's. But for me? It's the Norway "Viking row."

The videos have been everywhere -- Norwegians rowing up escalators! Norwegians rowing on New York City subways! Even the players on the World Cup roster have gotten in on the act! All it takes is a line of folks, some beats and some rowing!

So we've collected the best Norway Viking row moments from the World Cup, and we know there are plenty more to come with the team qualifying for the knockout rounds.
