Støttespillernes
Støttespillernes is a Norwegian term that translates to "supporters" or "supporting actors" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of sports, particularly in football (soccer), to describe the fans and followers of a team. These individuals are crucial to the atmosphere of a sporting event, providing vocal encouragement, displaying team colors, and creating a sense of unity and passion.
