- On Monday, June 22, Norway faces Senegal at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, seeking consecutive wins after defeating Iraq 4-1 in their 2026 World Cup opener.
- Norway's explosive return to the World Cup after 28 years featured a resounding 4-1 victory, fueled by Erling Haaland, who scored twice and maintains 57 goals in 51 international matches.
