First World Cup Since 1998 — Haaland Leads the Charge

Norway return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, ending a 28-year absence. Led by Manchester City striker Erling Haaland — one of the world’s most lethal forwards — and a squad full of Premier League talent, Norway arrive in 2026 as one of the tournament’s most exciting dark horses.

GROUP I INFO

About Group I

Norway are seeded third in Group I, making their return to the World Cup after a 28-year absence since France 1998. Group I is headlined by France — 2-time world champions ranked among the tournament favourites — and Senegal, Africa’s most dangerous side. Iraq are the group’s newcomers. Norway’s standout player is Erling Haaland, the Premier League’s all-time fastest century scorer, who will be the most-watched striker at the tournament. Norway’s Matchday 3 clash against France at Gillette Stadium in Boston is effectively a must-win if they are to advance. All three of Norway’s group matches are played in the northeast US corridor — Boston and New York — making for short travel and potentially loud Scandinavian support.
