Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Norway is back on soccer’s biggest stage for the first time since the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, and expectations are high for a talented squad led by Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland. The Vikings enter the tournament hoping to make history, but first they must open their campaign with a positive result against Iraq.
Making just their second World Cup appearance, Iraq earned its place in the field by defeating Bolivia in the intercontinental playoff and now faces a daunting challenge in its opener. While Norway enters as the favorite, Iraq will be determined to frustrate its opponent and chase a statement result on the global stage.
