Led by Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, Norway is off to a perfect start in World Cup qualifying and is poised to end a 28-year wait for tournament football.
The Norwegian national team is finally showing signs that its golden generation is ready to deliver on its immense promise.
With stars like Erling Haaland, Martin Ødegaard, Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa, and Sander Berge, Norway has assembled arguably the strongest squad in its football history — and it is now on the verge of reaching its first World Cup since 1998.
After years of falling short in qualification campaigns, Norway has started the current World Cup qualifiers with four straight victories, including a statement 3-0 win over Italy at home and a solid away win against Estonia, with Haaland once again finding the net.
This 100% start has fans dreaming of a long-awaited return to the world’s biggest stage. For a generation that has already conquered club football, international validation could soon follow.
