The match in south Florida could be impacted by brutal heat and humidity that is forecast around the 5pm local time (21:00 GMT) kickoff.
Miami is currently under a heat advisory from the US National Weather Service with “feels like” temperatures rising beyond 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
“We have trained very lightly. We haven’t done much hard work. We are with the tactical sessions, but in a lower tempo and not trained for long periods. So it’s all about being fresh tomorrow,” said Norway coach Stale Solbakken, whose side have trained in Miami for the past three days.
The two countries, he said, would have to get “used to the same conditions”.
