England's quest to lift their second FIFA World Cup trophy and the first since 1966 continues with a quarter-final showdown against Norway as the two European sides renew their rivalry at the FIFA World Cup 2026. The winners will book a place in the semifinals, where either Argentina or Switzerland await.
England began their World Cup campaign in impressive fashion with a victory over 2018 runners-up Croatia. The Three Lions were then held to a goalless draw by Ghana before wrapping up the group stage with a win over Paraguay.
England faced DR Congo in the Round of 32 where Harry Kane scored twice to inspire a dramatic comeback and keep the Three Lions' dream alive. The team then travelled to the iconic Azteca Stadium, where the English team produced a resilient performance, edging out Mexico in one of the tournament's most captivating encounters to secure their place in the last eight.
Competing at their first FIFA World Cup since France 1998, Norway have exceeded expectations by reaching the quarterfinals.
The Scandinavian nation opened its campaign with consecutive victories over Iraq and Senegal before a heavily rotated side suffered a defeat to France in its final group-stage match. Norway eased past Ivory Coast in the Round of 32 and produced another disciplined and clinical performance to eliminate South American giants Brazil.
Match Start Time
The match between the two European nations will be played at the Miami Stadium. It is set to kick-off at 2.30 a.m. IST on Sunday.
