One of European football’s brightest stars, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, spoke candidly about the prospects of the Norwegian national team at the World Cup, reports sportskeeda.com. According to Haaland, the country’s national team has never yet won the World Cup, and there are many obstacles on this path.
According to the information, Haaland has always dreamed of playing with the national team in major tournaments, but for Norway, simply qualifying for the World Cup is already considered a huge historic achievement. “If we qualify for the next World Cup, it will be a success equal to victory. Just that will lead to countless celebrations on the streets of Oslo,” said Haaland.
The young striker also compared the situation with the USA: “I don’t want to say that the USA will never be world champions. If they win, it will be a very unexpected event for me. If they become champions, I might even feel embarrassed. But if their chance of winning is one percent, ours is just half of that.”
It should be noted that the Norwegian national team has won its first four matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round and is leading Group I.
Haaland’s realistic and intense statements sparked lively discussions among fans. However, he expresses confidence in his teammates and the nation’s love for football. The Norwegian team has a chance to participate in a major tournament and write new heroic chapters in their history. The new qualifying round and Haaland’s high sporting form give the team great hope.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Norway’s new victories and Haaland’s distinctive playing style on the pitch in the coming years.
