Rosenborg, Sports | Her sitter Roar and RBK’s 16-year-olds take a bus instead of a plane
– We were just supposed to have a small pit stop in Copenhagen, but that time no, says sports coordinator at RBK, Roar Vikvang, to Nidaros.
After winning the cup this year, Rosenborg’s 16-year-olds will play the Scandinavian championship in Borø in Sweden. Here they will have the opportunity to challenge teams such as Swedish Halmstad and Danish FC Midtjylland in the group stage. Haugesund’s 16-year-olds are the other team representing Norway in the tournament.

The plane left Værnes earlier today. A small stop in Copenhagen was in the plans before the trip had to continue by plane to Gothenburg. But the flight from Copenhagen was canceled due to a technical fault, and when Nidaros talks to Vikvang on Tuesday afternoon, the whole team is on the bus and a little north of Helsingborg.
But there are no sour faces on the bus.
– No, it’s a nice group to have with you on a trip. We spend a little energy on the fact that it is a small bump in the itinerary, says Vikvang.
Altogether, there are 21 players and six managers on board the bus.
And despite the snowy weather and traffic problems in Trøndelag, there is not a snowflake to be seen in Denmark and Sweden, for the time being.
– Here it is plus degrees and fine weather.

RBK’s first match in the tournament is on Wednesday, then Midtjylland will wait until the end of the day. On arrival around half past nine on Tuesday evening, Vikvang expects the boys to be well rested for the match.
– Midtjylland probably has one of the best academies, so it will be a good benchmark in the first game. It will be fun to match the team against other teams from other nations.
The cup final, which sent RBK’s 16-year-olds to the tournament, was played at Koteng Arena on 12 November. 4-2 was the result against Strømsgodset.
