Norway starting lineup: Who will play in World Cup vs. Senegal?

Erling Haaland helped lead Norway to a resounding 4-1 victory over Iraq in its 2026 World Cup opener, marking the country's first win on the big stage since the 1998 tournament.

Norway will be looking to make it two in a row against Senegal on Monday, June 22. Another victory could clinch the country passage through to the knockout stage, pending the result of the France vs. Iraq match.

That should give Ståle Solbakken's squad all the motivation it needs to bring its A-game against Senegal.

After a strong performance in its opener, Solbakken has opted to name an unchanged lineup to face Senegal.

Here's how Norway will line up against Senegal in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on June 22:

Norway lineup vs. Senegal

Goalkeeper:

• Ørjan Nyland

Defenders:

• Kristoffer Ajer
• Torbjørn Heggem
• David Møller Wolfe

Midfielders:

• Fredrik Aursnes
• Sander Berge
• Martin Ødegaard

Forwards:

• Erling Haaland

Lineup notes: Norway has not made any changes after enjoying a quality showing against Iraq. No players were booked, so the Norwegian squad will trot out the same starting XI for the Iraq match as it did against Senegal.
