Norway's arduous journey for World Cup qualification has been marked by 26 years of absence since their last appearance in 1998, reflecting challenges in both selection and competition.
With the expansion to 48 teams for the 2026 World Cup and an increased UEFA allocation, Norway’s hopes for qualification seem significantly boosted, especially with emerging talents like Erling Haaland.
Despite Erling Haaland's impressive five goals during the 2022 qualification campaign, Norway still fell short, marking a sixth consecutive tournament missed for the national team.
The new qualification structure allows 12 group winners and additional play-off chances, offering Norway a clearer path to returning to the World Cup stage.
