The SFA have now confirmed that the Norway V Scotland game will definatly be played on Wednesday 12th August 2009.
When the dates were originaly annoinced back in 2007 the game was due to be played on Wednesday 19th August. It appears that UEFA asked for the games of all European sides to be played a week earlier to the Champions League matches being played earlier.
FIFA World Cup Qualifying Match
Norway v Scotland
Wednesday, 12th August, 2009
Ullevaal Stadion, Oslo Kick-off tbc
The originally agreed date for the Norway v Scotland qualifying match was 19th August, 2009. However, at UEFA's request to FIFA, this date was changed to 12th August due to Champions League scheduling,
Despite repeated attempts by the Scottish FA to change the date of the match - preferably to October (after the SPL season has started) FIFA has ruled, after consultation with the Norwegians, that the game will go ahead on August 12.
Scottish FA Chief Executive, Gordon Smith said "We're disappointed with the decision, but at least now the date has been clarified, Scotland supporters can finally make their travel arrangements."

It's been reported on Radio Forth Two that the SFA have been trying to negotiate with Fifa and Norway to have the Norway V Scotland World Cup Qualifier moved from August to November. The SFA think it's unfair that the Scottish League isn't running by that point.
There's still debate as to when the game is anyway - it was annoinced the game would be on the 19th August, but at some point it was moved to the 12th.
The SFA advise not to book anything yet.
