About This Match
Norway face Senegal in the Group Stage of Group I on Monday, June 22, 2026. Norway are ranked #22 in the world and managed by Ståle Solbakken; Senegal sit at #17 under Aliou Cissé. The match kicks off at 20:00 local time at MetLife Stadium in New York / New Jersey.
Norway
Norway arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with one of the most explosive striker-playmaker partnerships in world football - Manchester City's Erling Haaland, the most prolific scorer in Premier League history, and Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard as the creative fulcrum. The Viking warriors' return to the World Cup stage ends a 28-year absence since France 1998, and there is genuine excitement about what this Norwegian generation can achieve on the biggest stage. Group I against France, Senegal, and Iraq is a challenging draw, but Norway have the firepower to beat anyone on their day. If Haaland stays fit and Ødegaard delivers, Norway could be a genuine dark-horse contender for the knockout rounds.
Read Norway preview →Senegal
Senegal, reigning African champions, arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as one of the continent's most respected sides after their historic AFCON 2022 triumph. The Lions of Teranga, coached by Aliou Cissé - himself a player in the legendary 2002 squad that reached the quarter-finals as debutants - are led by the incomparable Sadio Mané and the commanding Kalidou Koulibaly. Group I against France, Norway, and Iraq is a tough group, but Senegal's experience and quality give them every chance of advancing. Mané's hunger for a World Cup deep run is well known, and this may be his final opportunity on the biggest stage.
