World Cup 2026 — Haaland's World Cup
Norway have been drawn in Group I alongside France, Senegal and the Intercontinental Playoff 2 winner (Iraq, Bolivia or Suriname). It is a formidable group — France are two-time champions and among the favourites, Senegal are an AFCON powerhouse — but Norway have the ultimate wildcard in Haaland. The expanded 48-team format means three teams can advance from each group, giving Norway a genuine path to the knockout stages. All group matches are on the US East Coast — Boston (twice) and New York/New Jersey. The group finale against France in Boston on 26 June is the most anticipated match of the group stage.
| Date | Match | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 16 June 2026 | IC Playoff 2 vs Norway | Gillette Stadium, Boston |
| 22 June 2026 | Norway vs Senegal | MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey |
| 26 June 2026 | Norway vs France | Gillette Stadium, Boston |

Norway's qualification for the 2026 World Cup ended a 28-year absence from the tournament — the longest drought in the nation's history and one of the great "finally" moments in recent qualifying history. The last time Norway appeared at a World Cup was France 1998, when they famously beat Brazil 2-1 in the group stage. That side, featuring Tore André Flo, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and goalkeeper Frode Grodås, captured Norwegian hearts. The 2026 squad has the talent to surpass them.
Solbakken has built a team around two world-class pillars: Haaland's goals and Martin Ødegaard's creativity. Arsenal's captain provides the vision and control in midfield, while Haaland provides the finishing power that can hurt any team in the world. Around them, a generation of Norwegian players plying their trade across Europe's top leagues gives Norway genuine depth. The squad may lack the pedigree of France or Senegal, but they have the individual quality — particularly in the final third — to cause significant damage.
Key Norway Players
Erling Haaland — The Force of Nature
Manchester City's extraordinary striker is the most prolific goalscorer in world football and the reason Norway's World Cup campaign has captured global attention. Haaland's combination of pace, power, movement and lethal finishing makes him arguably the most dangerous forward on the planet. He has shattered Premier League scoring records and won the Champions League — but the World Cup is the one stage he has never graced. At 25, Haaland arrives at the 2026 World Cup in his absolute prime. The prospect of Haaland vs Mbappé in the group finale is one of the most mouth-watering individual matchups in World Cup history.
Martin Ødegaard — The Maestro
Arsenal's captain is one of the most creative midfielders in world football and the player who makes Norway tick. Ødegaard's vision, technical quality, set-piece delivery and ability to unlock defences with a single pass provide the supply line for Haaland. Once dubbed "the next Messi" when he became the youngest ever player to represent Norway at just 15, Ødegaard has matured into a genuine world-class playmaker. His partnership with Haaland is the axis around which Norway's World Cup hopes revolve.
Alexander Sørloth — The Target
The experienced striker provides a different dimension alongside Haaland — aerial ability, physical presence and a proven international goalscoring record. Sørloth's ability to partner Haaland in a front two gives Solbakken tactical flexibility that few opponents can comfortably handle.
Sander Berge — The Shield
The powerful midfielder provides the defensive platform that allows Ødegaard creative freedom. Berge's combination of size, mobility, passing range and defensive intelligence makes him one of the most underrated midfielders at the tournament — the player who holds Norway's system together.
David Datro Fofana — The Wildcard
The young forward, born in Ivory Coast but eligible for Norway, adds explosive pace and unpredictability to the attack. His ability to stretch defences and create chaos with direct running gives Norway another weapon beyond the Haaland-Ødegaard partnership.
Norway's Tournament History
Norway's tournament history is modest compared to their Group I opponents — but their return after 28 years makes the 2026 World Cup one of the most emotionally charged moments in Norwegian football.
| Tournament | Appearances | Best Result | Notable Moment |
|---|---|---|---|
| World Cup | 3 (4th in 2026) | Round of 16 (1998) | 1998: Beat Brazil 2-1 in group stage — one of Norway's greatest ever results; 1938: First WC appearance |
| European Championship | 1 | Group stage (2000) | Only Euro appearance to date; narrowly missed qualification on multiple occasions |
| Olympics | Multiple pre-war editions | Bronze medal (1936) | Olympic bronze in Berlin 1936 |
Norway's Tournament Record at a Glance
| Stat | Record |
|---|---|
| World Cup appearances | 3 (1938, 1994, 1998) — 4th in 2026 |
| Best World Cup result | Round of 16 (1998) |
| 28-year absence | Last WC: France 1998 — longest drought in Norway's history |
| All-time top scorer | Jørgen Juve (33 goals) |
| Active top scorer | Erling Haaland (35+ goals) |
| Most capped player | John Arne Riise (110 caps) |
| WC qualifying | Won European qualifying Group B |
Norway's World Cup history began at France 1938 and includes just three appearances — 1938, 1994 and 1998. The 1998 campaign remains the high-water mark: Norway beat Morocco and Brazil in the group stage (the 2-1 victory over Brazil, featuring Kjetil Rekdal's nerveless penalty, is one of the greatest results in Norwegian football history), before falling to Italy in the Round of 16. After missing every tournament since, the 2026 qualification campaign was a watershed moment — sparked by Haaland's goals and Ødegaard's orchestration, Norway topped their European qualifying group to seal their return.
The "Group of Death" draw means Norway face the toughest possible path — but it also means the world will be watching. If Haaland and Ødegaard can deliver, this Norwegian squad has the talent to write the greatest chapter in the nation's football history.
