July 12 (Reuters) - ⁠Norwegian Air has honoured its ⁠social media wager with British Airways ‌and changed its Instagram profile picture to BA's logo for a day after ​England's 2-1 victory over ⁠Norway in their ⁠World Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

Ahead of the ⁠match, ‌the two carriers made a light-hearted bet: The ⁠one representing the losing country would ​swap ‌its Instagram profile picture to that ⁠of ​the winner for 24 hours.

"While the tournament is over for us, this ⁠friendly bet will forever ​live in all our hearts," Norwegian wrote under the unfamiliar logo, adding ⁠a congratulatory message. "We wish England and British Airways all the best in the semi-final, and we sincerely ​hope you’ll get ⁠to bring football home!"

England will face ​Argentina in the ‌semi-final in Atlanta on ​Wednesday.
