The excitement of the FIFA World Cup is spreading fast, and now airlines are getting in on the fun! Ahead of the big match between England and Norway on July 12 at 1:00 AM (UAE time), British Airways and Norwegian have made a playful bet on social media that has captured the attention of travellers and football fans alike.

The rules of the friendly wager are very simple. Whichever country loses the match must change its Instagram profile logo to its rival's logo for one day. This fun challenge started when Norwegian posted on Instagram: “If Norway wins, you have to switch to our logo on Instagram on Sunday (one day). And vice versa. Deal?” British Airways replied with a confident: “Don’t make bets you can’t win.”

Check out their playful exchange below:

The banter continued with another post from British Airways, hinting they had something to say. Norwegian quickly replied: "We have something to tell you too. Check our last post," directing followers to their original post asking: "Will you take the bet?"

British Airways officially accepted the challenge, writing: "Hey there. Challenge accepted! Just don't be surprised if we take the win at cruising altitude."

Norwegian responded: "Love the confidence. Check your DMs for the logo swap."

Football fans in the UAE and across the GCC are excited to see who will win the match and which airline will be swapping its logo this weekend.
