The teams
Norway reach the 2026 World Cup through UEFA and have been drawn into Group I alongside France, Senegal and Iraq. Norway have yet to win a World Cup, and a strong group stage would already be a notable run. Much of the attention will fall on Erling Haaland, the team's marquee name.
France reach the 2026 World Cup through UEFA and have been drawn into Group I alongside Senegal, Iraq and Norway. France are former world champions, with 2 titles, so they arrive among the favourites rather than the underdogs. Much of the attention will fall on Kylian Mbappé, the team's marquee name.

Gillette Stadium →What to expect
On paper, France carry the heavier World Cup pedigree, but group games are often tight and a single set piece or counter-attack can settle them. Watch the individual duel between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé.
