Norway
雄狮队带着世界上最令人畏惧的前锋和一代精英人才重返世界杯。
Squad Overview
The Haaland-Ødegaard axis defines this Norway team. One is the world's best finisher, the other a world-class creative midfielder. Around them, a solid supporting cast has emerged — athletic defenders, hard-working midfielders, and pace on the flanks. This is Norway's most talented generation since the 1990s, and expectations are high.
Tactical Style
Direct, high-tempo 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 built around maximizing Erling Haaland's unique goal-scoring ability. Norway play to their strengths — quick transitions, early crosses, and feeding the most devastating finisher in world football. Martin Ødegaard provides the creative supply line from midfield.
Road to 2026
Erling Haaland's goals fired Norway through UEFA qualifying, the superstar striker proving the difference in decisive matches.
World Cup History
Norway's previous World Cup golden era came in the 1990s, reaching the round of 16 in 1998 and famously beating Brazil in that tournament. The Lions' return after a long absence is powered by generational talents Haaland and Ødegaard. This Norway team has the potential to surpass all previous achievements and write a new chapter in Norwegian football history.
