All eyes turn to New York/New Jersey Stadium for Brazil’s Round of 16 meeting with Norway at the 2026 World Cup, a match loaded with attacking potential.
Brazil enter the match seeking another quarter-final appearance, relying on Vinícius Júnior’s quality and their attacking depth under Carlo Ancelotti.
Norway, meanwhile, are banking on Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, as well as an eye-catching historical record against Brazil, who have never beaten the Norwegians in previous meetings.
Neymar’s return to fitness gives Brazil another attacking option, even if a starting role depends on the technical staff’s assessment of his condition.
The match looks open: Brazil have experience and flair, while Norway possess the physical and goalscoring tools to trouble any defence.
