Norway and Faroe Islands lock horns in the first set of International Friendlies as club football takes a pause for the international break.
Norway were dumped out of the Euro 2024 qualification after their heartbreaking loss to Spain as Barcelona prodigy Gavi scored the solo goal for La Furia Roja to give them the lead. With 10 points from seven games and just one game left against Scotland, Norway were met with a shambolic exit but a win against Faroe Islands could give them confidence for the upcoming international games and competitions.
Faroe Islands are bottom of Group E with just a single point from their seven games pushing them out of contention. In the eight games they have competed in this calendar year, the visitors have just one point to show with a draw against Moldova coming in March. With Norway boasting of forwards like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, Faroe Islands could face a daunting challenge at the Ullevaal Stadion.
