Norway's fairytale journey at the 2026 FIFA World Cup may have ended with a heartbreaking quarterfinal defeat to England, but the celebrations continued long after the final whistle. Their 2-1 extra-time loss in Miami against England marked the end of a remarkable campaign, yet it did little to diminish the pride of a nation witnessing its team on football's biggest stage for the first time in 28 years.

Few expected the team to make it this far in the tournament, and the result is a nation united in euphoria around its team of Vikings.

Norway, which has reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time, plans to embrace the moment when it faces England.
