Norway's squad list for the 2026 World Cup.

Norway's star striker, Erling Haaland, is the architect of their long-awaited World Cup dream. He scored 16 goals in the qualifying rounds – double the number scored by any other player in Europe.

Haaland's impressive goalscoring record was the main driving force behind Norway's qualification for the World Cup for the first time since 1998. The Manchester City striker is expected to continue to be the most dangerous weapon for the "Nordic Wolves" in North America.

Captain and midfield maestro Martin Odegaard is another name worth noting. The Arsenal star brings creativity and the ability to control the game for the Norwegian national team.

In addition, experienced forwards like Alexander Sorloth and Jorgen Strand Larsen, along with young talents Oscar Bobb and Antonio Nusa, complete a squad that balances experience and youth.
