Norway National Team
Norway comes off the back of four successful matches in the Women’s EURO qualifiers at the end of 2024. The team failed to qualify in the main round and had to go through the play-offs. However, Albania and Northern Ireland could not stop Norway from reaching the tournament.
The Women’s Nations League will be a good test for the squad in preparation for the Euro 2025, but the results also matter for the upcoming World Cup 2027. During the first two matchdays, Norway lost to France but secured a win against Switzerland.
Head coach Gemma Grainger selected the following 23-player squad for the Norway National Team:
- Goalkeepers: Cecilie Fiskerstrand, Aurora Mikalsen, Selma Panengstuen.
- Defenders: Tuva Hansen, Guro Bergsvand, Maren Mjelde, Marit Bratberg Lund, Emilie Woldvik, Mathilde Harviken, Maria Thorisdottir.
- Midfielders: Vilde Bøe Risa, Justine Kielland, Frida Maanum, Ingrid Engen, Karina Sævik, Lisa Naalsund, Thea Bjelde.
