Erling Haaland will carry Norway's World Cup hopes after a 28-year absence, leading the nation on the grandest international stage.
Expectations are high for the Manchester City striker, who scored 16 goals in eight qualifying matches-double the tally of his nearest rivals.
Norway secured their first World Cup berth since 1998 with a ruthless campaign. They are drawn in Group I with France, Senegal, and Iraq.
Haaland embraces the pressure, aiming to elevate Norwegian football globally. Manager Stale Solbakken emphasizes maximizing Haaland's threat as the team's key match-winner.
