Mbappé and Haaland top France and Norway titles
France begins its journey in the 2026 World Cup with a match against Senegal at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This game recalls the opening of the 2002 World Cup, where Senegal defeated France with a single goal. The French team is considered one of the top contenders for the title, led by Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, despite logistical challenges in the United States. This is expected to be the last tournament for coach Didier Deschamps. Mbappé aims to achieve individual milestones, approaching Gérard Giresse’s record as France’s top scorer, while Norway, led by Erling Haaland, makes its comeback after missing out since 1998. Senegal is seeking to repeat its 2002 feat, and Iraq returns to the World Cup after a 40-year absence, aiming for their first victory and to advance past the group stage.
