The Norway national football team (Norwegian: Norges herrelandslag i fotball, or informally Landslaget) represents Norway in men's international football's, and is controlled by the Norwegian Football Federation, the governing body for football in Norway. Norway's home ground is Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo and their head coach is Ståle Solbakken. Norway has participated three times in the FIFA World Cup (1938, 1994, 1998), and once in the UEFA European Championship (2000).
A very curious and notable stats regarding the squad is that Norway is one of very few national teams to have a winning record against Brazil as there are currently only 4 national teams who can claim that out of the 89 opponents Brazil has faced; Norway is also the only team out of those 4 to have a 2 win differential against the 5 times world champions . In four matches, Norway has a match record against Brazil of two wins and two draws,[4] in three friendly matches (in 1988, 1997 and 2006) and a 1998 World Cup group stage match.
After Euro 2000, the national team have been eliminated in 12 consecutive qualifications to a major international tournament (UEFA Euro and FIFA World Cup) as of December 2023.[5][6][7]
