Norway dismantled Sweden 3-1 in a men’s international friendly on June 1, 2026, delivering a statement performance as the team gears up for what could be a historic World Cup campaign.
For a nation that hasn’t appeared at a men’s World Cup since 1998, every match matters.
Strand Larsen steals the show
Jørgen Strand Larsen was the undeniable star, bagging two goals to put Norway firmly in control. Antonio Nusa added a third to seal the comfortable margin.
Sweden managed a late consolation through Alexander Isak, but by that point, the match was already decided.
