Norway has released a compilation of every goal the men's national team scored at FIFA World Cup finals from 1994 through the 2026 tournament [1].
The collection marks the end of Norway's most successful modern campaign, which saw the team reach the quarter-finals for the first time in decades [5].
The 2026 run began on July 1 with an opening match against Iraq. During that game, Erling Haaland scored Norway's first World Cup goal since 1998 [4]. This goal set the tone for a tournament hosted across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico [5].
One of the most significant moments of the campaign occurred on July 5. Norway defeated Brazil 2–1 [2], with Haaland scoring both goals in the victory [3]. The win over the Brazilian side served as a centerpiece for the team's progress through the knockout stages.
Norway's journey ended on July 11 in the quarter-finals. The team lost to England 2–1 [4]. Despite the exit, the performance was viewed as a milestone for the national program.
Haaland said the period was "the coolest six weeks of my life" [6].
The new video retrospective connects these recent achievements with the goals of previous generations. It features contributions from former players such as Kjetil Rekdal, and Tore Andre Flo [1]. By pairing the 1990s era with the 2026 squad, the compilation tracks the evolution of Norwegian football on the global stage [1].
The footage includes the recent goals from Antonio Nusa and the Haaland-led attack, providing a comprehensive visual record of the team's scoring history at the finals [1].
“"the coolest six weeks of my life"”
Norway's 2026 performance represents a shift in the team's international standing, moving from a period of absence on the world stage to a quarter-final contender. The reliance on Erling Haaland as a primary scoring threat mirrors the impact of legendary strikers in previous tournaments, but the team's ability to defeat a powerhouse like Brazil suggests a higher tactical ceiling for the current squad.
