The Norwegian Football Federation has confirmed that the men's national team will host Morocco in a friendly match on June 5, 2026, at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo. The match is a key part of both teams' preparations for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

For Norway, led by star striker Erling Haaland, this match represents a significant test against a top African side. Morocco, semi-finalists at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, are currently ranked among the top teams in the world and are expected to be a formidable opponent. The Atlas Lions are managed by Walid Regragui.

The fixture is part of Norway's final preparations before the team departs for the World Cup. It is one of the few remaining opportunities for manager Ståle Solbakken to fine-tune tactics and squad selection against elite international competition ahead of the tournament.
