Norway national football team arrives in the US for the 2026 World Cup

The Norwegian national football team has arrived in the United States to compete in the 2026 World Cup, marking their first tournament appearance since 1998. To maintain their performance and dietary standards, the delegation transported large quantities of traditional Norwegian food, including 300 kilograms of fish, 116 kilograms of brunost cheese, and 6,000 oranges for daily fresh juice. Three specialized chefs, who have worked with the national team since the 1990s, oversee the preparation of meals for the 60-member delegation in Greensboro, North Carolina. The squad is continuing their preparation through friendly matches before their opening game against Iraq. This match is scheduled for Wednesday, June 16, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. The team is prioritizing physical fitness, hydration, and nutritional consistency throughout their stay. This logistics strategy aims to ensure players remain comfortable and maintain their familiar daily routines while abroad.
