About Norway National Football Team
The Norway national soccer team represents Norway in men’s international soccer and is controlled by the Norwegian Football Federation, the governing body for soccer in Norway. Norway’s stadium is the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo and its head coach is Ståle Solbakken. Norway has participated in the FIFA World Cup three times (1938, 1994, 1998) and once in the UEFA European Championship (2000).
Norway is the only team that remains undefeated in all matches against Brazil. In four matches, Norway has a game record against Brazil of 2 wins and 2 draws, in three friendlies (in 1988, 1997, and 2006) and one match from the 1998 World Cup group stage.
Norway National Football Team History
In the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Norway was eliminated in the group stage after beating Mexico, defeating Italy, and drawing with the Republic of Ireland. Norway did not qualify for the second round qualification on goals scored, as all 4 teams in the group finished with 4 points and an identical goal difference. At the 1998 World Cup in France, Norway was again eliminated by Italy in the first round of the knockout phase after finishing second in their group, having drawn against Morocco and Scotland and winning 2-1 against Brazil.
Former under-21 coach Nils Johan Semb replaced Olsen after the latter’s planned retirement. Under Semb’s guidance, Norway qualified for Euro 2000, which remains their last final appearance to date. Semb resigned at the end of an unsuccessful qualifying campaign in 2003 and was replaced by Åge Hareide. Under Hareide, Norway came close to reaching both the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008 but ultimately fell short on both occasions. Then in 2008, it all came crashing down when Norway failed to win a single game in the entire calendar year.
