=====Description and History=====
The Nordic National Team is the professional [[Quidditch]] team representing the Nordic region of [[Europe]]. The team competed in the 1994 [[Quidditch World Cup]], where they successfully advanced to the quarter-finals.
In their quarter-final match, the Nordic team played against the [[Transylvanian National Team|Transylvanian team]]. [[Ludo Bagman]] later referred to this game as a "real cliffhanger." The final outcome of the match is not stated, though it is mentioned separately that [[Transylvania]] knocked the [[England National Team|English National Team]] out of the tournament in the quarter-finals.
=====Role in the Story=====
The Nordic National Team is mentioned in //[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]// to provide background and colour to the [[Quidditch World Cup]] event. Their match against [[Transylvania]] and, most notably, their use of [[Huldra]]s as [[mascot]]s serve to illustrate the international scope and diversity of the [[wizarding world]]. The disruptive behaviour of their mascots, who tried to lure away the [[referee]], [[Hassan Mostafa]], adds a moment of humour and chaos to the description of the tournament.
=====Known Areas Within=====
While not a physical location, the team is composed of the following known elements:
  * **Team Roster:** The specific names of the Nordic National Team's players are not recorded in the novels.
  * **Mascots:** The team was famously supported by a troupe of [[Huldra]]s, described as exceptionally beautiful women with long, fair hair who concealed cow's tails. Their alluring nature proved to be a distraction during the match.
