"It's been some years since the emergence of Odegaard, Haaland and others prompted talk of a Norwegian football revolution. But with that talk now becoming reality, this month's issue is a bit of a Norway special. We've taken a look at the thriving national team and their World Cup ambitions, chatted to their next rising star, and sent Josh Butler to one of the country's fiercest derbies."
"The Norwegian champions, Bodo/Glimt, also make an appearance in our Champions League preview, alongside the 35 other teams to have qualified for the league phase of the 2025-26 competition.
