The Norway national team have celebrated their return to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998 in a unique way. Ahead of the 2026 tournament, the squad posed for a special team photo with players wearing the retro shirts of their childhood clubs.
The images feature the squad sporting classic designs from their early playing days, offering a nostalgic look at the grassroots origins of the current national team. This initiative highlights the local Norwegian clubs that helped develop the players who ended the nation's 28-year wait for World Cup qualification.
In addition to the childhood kits, the team also took part in a separate photoshoot where they dressed in traditional Viking gear, captured by photographer David Yarrow. Both photoshoots have quickly gained attention online as the squad prepares for their 2026 World Cup campaign.

Norway's 2026 World Cup whiteout third kit by Nike was debuted in their friendly match against Morocco. Serving as a direct inverse to the black away kit, this precautionary white alternative is designed to prevent kit clashes and marks the first time in the Norwegian Football Federation's history that the national team has been equipped with three match uniforms for a major tournament.
Norway will not wear the whiteout kit in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.

The Norwegian national football team has released a Viking-inspired group photograph via its official channels to mark preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Captured by renowned photographer David Yarrow in Oslo, the image shows the squad in authentic attire assembled beside a fjord, with longboats in the background, reflecting the country's historical narrative and the supporters' Viking row tradition.
Norway returns to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, led by captain Martin Ødegaard and star striker Erling Haaland. The photoshoot took place last weekend, with Ødegaard digitally added after he was unavailable due to the Champions League final. A separate image including coaching and technical staff was also produced.
The NFF embraced the theme to highlight team unity and cultural heritage as the squad prepares for the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
