Norway: 2026 World Cup squad confirmed
Norway have confirmed their 26-player squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For the first time since 1998, Norway are at the World Cup and they bring with them the most prolific striker on the planet.
Erling Haaland's Manchester City career has been a relentless parade of goals, and his presence alone makes Norway a threat. But this is more than a one-man team. Martin Odegaard's captaincy at Arsenal has made him one of the best creative players in world football, and the squad around them has genuine European pedigree. Norwegian football has enjoyed a renaissance, with the nation's investment in technical coaching and facilities finally bearing fruit at the highest level.
Head coach Stale Solbakken has named his final selection for the tournament in North America.
The Haaland-Odegaard axis is as good as any strike partnership in the tournament. Alexander Sorloth provides a complementary aerial threat, and Sander Berge's physicality anchors the midfield. Norway are everyone's favourite dark horse.
