🇳🇴 Norway

Norway are an emerging force powered by elite attacking talent. A UEFA side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1860 — 16th of the 48 teams — in Group I.

Historically intermittent at the World Cup, with their best run the 1998 Round of 16. Direct and physical, dangerous in transition and from wide deliveries.

Drawn alongside France, Senegal and Iraq, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with France. Our model projects them to finish 3rd in the group and to reach the Round of 16.
