Ahead of the biggest soccer match in the country's history, Norway had to make some last-minute logistical changes.

Norway is set to face England for a spot in the World Cup semifinals at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Saturday, but the Norway players apparently were not getting much rest.

According to The Independent, players requested a hotel change due to "noise and disruption from the road outside their original hotel as well as a nearby construction site."

The team had been staying at the Dalmar Hotel in Fort Lauderdale but has now moved to a hotel even closer to the stadium.

"It is brutal having to move, but we are satisfied with the new place and everyone is happy now," a team rep told Fox News Digital.

"Some people might fear that this will affect the players, but it was the players who wanted this more than anyone else. We have strong people in our support team and managed to move in two-and-a-half hours. The process of changing hotel is not ideal, but we wanted to take action as soon as possible. Having a good atmosphere is most important.
