Norway’s TV2 has not been denied access to the World Cup draw ceremony in Moscow, Deputy Prime Minister and the President of the Russian Football Union, Vitaly Mutko, said on Friday. He explained that earlier reports to the contrary had been due to “a technical error.” The Norwegian media company said that journalist Oystein Bogen and cameraman Aage Aune were not accredited for the ceremony, which takes place on Friday. Norway’s TV2 and NRK have bought the rights from FIFA to broadcast the 2018 World Cup, which is hosted by Russia.
