Article body
The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) has confirmed its national team will play friendly internationals against Austria in Vienna on 20 November and Scotland at home in August 2003.
Poor record
Norway have a poor record against the Austrians, having won only one of their nine meetings. Their last encounter ended in a 0-0 draw in Vienna more than a decade ago. Nils Johan Semb's men last played Scotland in 1998, a 1-1 FIFA World Cup draw in Bordeaux.
EURO 2004™ opener
The Norwegians will next be in action against the Netherlands on 21 August ahead of their opening EURO 2004™ qualifying fixture against Scandinavian rivals Denmark on 7 September.
