In most leagues, a Player of the Match award earns you a handshake, a sponsored trophy or maybe a bottle of champagne. In Norway, it can mean walking off the pitch with four trays of eggs, or in one case, a freshly slaughtered pig.

Norway, is famous for the Northern Lights, the beautiful coastlines, or perhaps the cold weather. Whatever the case you will know something about this Scandinavian country.

What might become of interest to some people, though, is the football league and how two teams playing out from within the Arctic Circle are leading a charge to the top of the Eliteserien and setting their eyes on European football and glory.
