– I would like to propose to reject it at the board meeting on February 11, board chairman Geir Knutsen in Troms and Finnmark told NTB.

He said he fully supports the Trøndelag sports circle board, which voted against streaming youth sports last weekend.

Oslo already did decision and said no. Among the arguments, the council wrote that “for others it will be a new barrier to participation”.

NTB has contacted eleven sports circles. None of the nine remaining circuits have adopted no, but some may do so during the week. Sporting circles Nordland and Møre og Romsdal held a board meeting on Thursday and will discuss the matter.

Not specified

The Inlandet sports circle did not take any decisions at its last board meeting.

– We want to dive deeper into the problem. There is still one more point at the board meeting in February, Inger Lilleby Fløgum told NTB.

The chairman stated that the dialogue with the Norwegian Sports Confederation (NIF) was good.

The Rogaland sports circle supports the NIF line in this regard. The NIF has decided to follow developments closely and has asked general secretary Nils Einar Aas to present the new case to the board this summer. The sports community in Vestfold and Telemark, Vestland and Agder did the same.

– We want detailed national resolutions that protect the safety of every young individual. We will signal this to NIF as input in their work on the case, Vestland chairman Nils R. Sandal wrote to NTB.

Viken will decide the question on February 14th.

Don’t want commercialization

Trøndelag district council decision last weekend it was clear:

“The bottom line is you can’t see that it is in the best interest of young people and the definition of youth is then set for those under 18 years of age. Also, the commercialization of youth sports is something we don’t want, top level sports and adult sports are okay commercialized,” the circle wrote earlier this week.

This position is in line with the signal from the Minister of Children, Kjersti Toppe (Sp).

– Ideally, I support the age limit of 18, and in any case there should be strict requirements for approval, Toppe told NTB recently about the debate that is raging in Norwegian sport.

According to the plan, automatic cameras will be installed in sports halls across the country to broadcast live games from the 15th grade and above. The idea is that family and friends should be able to take part in matches online in exchange for paying for a MyGame subscription.

General plan

Several unfortunate episodes have been revealed at the same time, including by VG. This led to heavy criticism from various quarters and a halt to the launch of the camera and streaming.

The Trøndelag sports circle has stated that decisions already taken may be reassessed if new points are raised in the investigation.

In the future, the Norwegian sports confederation, in collaboration with the specialized confederations, will prepare a joint plan for further investigations around streaming. External analysis and quality assurance will be carried out and work will be carried out in focus groups. Preliminary reports will be available on May 1.

MyGame management, like Toppe and others, supported the decision to pause the project.
