The NFF joinedFIFA in 1908, andUEFA in 1954.
The NFF was part of an unsuccessful joint bid with theSvFF, theDBU and theSPL to host theUEFA Euro 2008 championship. The SvFF invited the NFF to join them in bidding for theUEFA Euro 2016 championship. The NFF and Norwegian politicians expressed support for such a proposal,[1] but Euro 2016 was eventually awarded toFrance.
In Spring 1902,Lyn invited representatives from Grane and Spring (both now defunct) to join together in forming a national football association. On 30 April, 14 delegates from the three clubs met at the Hotel Bristol in Oslo.
