Norwegian football strike over
Oslo - Norwegian professional players were Monday to return to work after a strike by 95 players postponed the weekend round of Norway's Premier League.
The professional players' association NISO and employers grouped in the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise, NHO, late Sunday announced they had agreed on several contentious points.
One demand from the players was to get greater freedom to choose their own equipment including football shoes.
That demand was not fulfilled completely but it was agreed that each club was to set up a committee with the player representative to discuss possible changes, according to the deal.
'It was recognized that standard equipment does not always suit everyone,' Joachim Walltin, head of NISO that also organizes professional handball and ice hockey players, told broadcaster NRK.
Another issue concerned contract terms. The parties said they were to review the wording in the standard contracts, together with the Norwegian Football Asssociation.
