"He was clearly drunk and unable to judge the match and was substituted at half time," said a tournament spokesman.
Both the football trainers and the tournament leaders noticed the referee's behaviour.
Jan Roger Stromsvag, leader of the Sunndal football referees, said: "It is simply embarrassing that something like this can happen."
