Something special is happening in Norway.
After years of frustration and heartbreak, the national team is putting together one of its most promising World Cup qualifying campaigns in recent memory. With four wins from four matches, the Norwegians are not just leading their group — they’re making a statement.
This team doesn’t want to miss out again. Not after watching Qatar 2022 from the sidelines.
📊 Here’s how it’s going so far:
| Match | Opponent | Result | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moldova | 5–0 | Away |
| 2 | Israel | 4–2 | Home |
| 3 | Italy | 3–0 | Home |
| 4 | Estonia | 1–0 | Away |
That’s 13 goals scored, only 2 conceded, and 12 points in the bag. Top of the group. Confidence sky-high.
⚽ The Haaland Effect (and more)
Of course, when Erling Haaland is in your squad, anything is possible. The Manchester City star has found the net in every single match so far — 4 goals in 4 games — and he’s doing it with the kind of ease that terrifies defenders.
But this isn’t just the Haaland show.
- Martin Ødegaard is pulling the strings in midfield with maturity and vision, already serving up 5 assists.
- Alexander Sørloth and Antonio Nusa have both chipped in with crucial goals — especially in that jaw-dropping 3–0 win over Italy.
- And defensively, Norway looks more solid than ever.
🧠 A Team With Purpose
Under manager Ståle Solbakken, this squad is more focused, more unified, and simply more hungry. Missing the last World Cup still stings, and you can see that in the way they play — every ball chased, every tackle made, every goal celebrated like it means everything.
Because it does.
This isn’t just about qualifying. It’s about finally showing the world what Norway is capable of. And with players performing at their peak and a fanbase that’s falling in love again, the dream is starting to feel very real.
🌍 2026 on the Horizon
The road to the USA, Mexico and Canada is long, but Norway has made the perfect start. And if they keep this up, not only will they be in North America next summer — they might just be a team to watch.
Four games. Four wins. One dream.
Norway’s coming — and this time, they’re not knocking politely.
