The Norway national football team is the second tallest in the World Cup, and this could give them an advantage on set pieces. Alexander Sørloth, who is 195 centimeters tall, believes that height is a significant advantage. He is Norway's second-tallest World Cup player, and the average height of the Norwegian national team is 186.7 centimeters. This is 3.5 centimeters taller than the lowest nation in Norway's World Cup group. Kristoffer Vassbakk Ajer is Norway's tallest World Cup player at 196 centimeters. Norway has ten players who stand over 190 centimeters tall. Stian Vik Nedrebø, who is the set piece coach for Norway's best set piece team, believes that height is not the only factor that determines a good set piece. He highlights several key factors, including good timing in the duel, being physically tough, and being mentally tough. Pål Fjelde, who is Norway's set piece coach, has stated that Norway hopes to exploit set pieces. He believes that Norway has good expertise in the coaching team, and has a team with fantastic servers and fantastic headers. The only nation with a higher average height than Norway is Bosnia-Herzegovina. They are 0.4 centimeters taller than Norway on average. Norway's height is so impressive that it has become a topic of discussion at Atlético Madrid. Alexander Sørloth commented at a press conference that he believes it is an advantage to be physically tall. He said that when he returns to Atlético after international breaks, they often discuss their team photos. Their backline with players standing on the team photos – usually the goalkeeper and maybe the center-back who are up to two meters tall – while they have six players. National team coach Ståle Solbakken has stated that Norway hopes to exploit set pieces, and Stian Vik Nedrebø has high expectations for Norway and Fjelde's expertise during the World Cup. He believes that Norway spends a lot of time on it, and has good expertise in the coaching team. He also believes that the countries that go far in the World Cup also deliver on set pieces.
