What does the Brazil clash mean for Norway?

Brazil is the most successful nation in football history, yet they have never beaten Norway in an official senior match. In four previous meetings, Norway recorded two draws and two wins – the most famous from 1998 in Marseille. A new victory would give Norway its first chance to reach a World Cup quarter‑final.

How is Norway’s form heading into the game?

The side’s last result was a 1‑4 loss to France on 26 June 2026. The recent four‑match run reads 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, with the two most recent games lost. Despite that, Haaland has delivered 7 goals in 4 tournament appearances and remains Norway’s top scorer.

What lies ahead after the round‑of‑16?

If Norway wins, they will meet the victor of the Mexico‑England tie in the quarter‑final in Miami on Saturday 11 July at 23:00 CET. A defeat would shift focus to a friendly against Portugal at home on 27 September 2026. Whatever the outcome, this encounter will be remembered as one of Norway’s greatest World Cup moments.
