Norway national team posts Viking‑themed Instagram photo ahead of 2026 World Cup

The Norway national team shared a Viking‑styled image on Instagram as part of its 2026 World Cup buildup. Star striker Erling Haaland appears in a fjord dressed as a Viking, captioning the post with "Norway is coming.

" The picture underscores Norway's ambitious intent for the tournament. Curiously, Haaland's "Viking" nickname resurfaced just 24 hours after Enrique Riquelme announced his desire to sign the striker should he win the club election.
