Three sons continue family legacy in Norway team
The Norway vs. Iraq match at the 2026 World Cup saw the first-ever participation of three players who are the sons of former Norwegian stars who previously appeared in the finals. Norway won the match 4-1 against Iraq and topped Group Nine. The match featured Erling Haaland, Alexander Sörloth, and Christian Thorstvedt, with Haaland scoring two goals. This was the first time since 1994 that a player’s father, Alf-Inge Haland, had also participated in the World Cup. This marks Norway's fourth appearance in the World Cup, ending a 28-year absence since their last participation in the 1998 tournament.
