About Team Norway

Team Norway represents Norway and Norwegian roller derby in international tournaments and games.

The program is built around a Training Squad of 30–40 players from leagues across the country. All members of the Training Squad are considered potential candidates for the final roster of 20 players selected for the European Roller Derby Cup 2027.

Players who are not yet ready for final selection still benefit from participation in Team Norway through coaching, guidance, and training‑camp experience. Maintaining a large Training Squad strengthens Team Norway as an organization and contributes to the long‑term development of Norwegian roller derby by giving more athletes access to high‑level training opportunities.
