Norway dominated European qualifying, scoring 37 goals in 8 games — the most of any European qualifier — with Erling Haaland finishing as the top scorer with 16 group stage goals. Haaland also won the Premier League Golden Boot with 27 goals for Manchester City in 2025-26. Norway's first World Cup since 1998 generates huge excitement; the squad is stronger than any in Norwegian history but will need more than just Haaland to challenge France and Senegal in Group I.
