Italy begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying journey with a daunting trip to Oslo. They will face group leaders Norway in a high-stakes clash on Friday evening. After failing to qualify for the last two World Cups, the Azzurri are under pressure to avoid a repeat.
They are looking to secure a direct spot from the five-team Group I. However, Norway have already taken a commanding six-point lead after thrashing Moldova 5-0 and edging Israel 4-2 in their opening matches. Meanwhile, Italy are still reeling from a disappointing Nations League exit.

Led by Luciano Spalletti, the Azzurri also exited the Euro 2024 after an underwhelming campaign. The four-time world champions must now navigate a tough start to their qualifying campaign, facing a Norwegian side brimming with belief. Especially a Norway side that’s buoyed by stars like Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard.
Friday’s fixture features Norway and Italy, the two main contenders for the top spot in Group I. With only the group winner earning automatic qualification, this match could prove decisive. Historically, Italy have dominated the head-to-head. However, the momentum currently lies with the Norwegians, who have not qualified for a World Cup since 1998. Yet, as per how the current table looks, they are now firmly in contention to top the group.
