Haaland, teammates receive heroes' welcome in Norway after World Cup exit

Around 90,000 supporters welcomed the Norwegian national team in Oslo on July 13, 2026, after their historic run to the World Cup quarter-finals. Erling Haaland's side was knocked out by England 2-1 in extra time. Crown Prince Haakon led the celebrations with a drum, while captain Martin Odegaard thanked the fans for their support. Haaland, who scored 7 goals in the tournament, missed the reception as he had a plane to catch.
