The captain of the Norwegian national team, Erling Goland, stated that he felt a great credit for leading his national team to the World Championship - a feat that was not achieved by the country..

Norway will carry out an unfinished selection cycle, having won all seven matches against their group in the race before the 2026 emergency. The team is in position for a guaranteed place in the final part of the tournament.

Holland was absolutely a key figure in this success. Manchester City forward scored 14 of 33 qualifying goals. Ahead of the final match against Italy, Goland shared his emotions:.

" I'm talking about a lot of rocks. On my shoulders lies a great burden, and this is what I have been working on since the moment I arrived at the polls in 2019,” said the attacker.

The Republic of Norway played at the World Championships in 1998, two years before the people of Holland.

“Norway has never qualified for an emergency in its entire life, which is a less important thing for me.”. I will earn everything in my power to make this happen,” Erling concluded.
