Norway is expected by many to make a strong impression in North America this summer, having beaten Italy twice en route to a flawless qualifying campaign.
This marks the country's first World Cup appearance of the 21st century, with its last showing coming back in 1998. Manager Ståle Solbakken was part of that previous squad to grace the prestigious tournament, and now he leads a generation of players ready to take on soccer's elite across the Atlantic.
Daunting challenges await in Group I. Norway has the opportunity to find their footing early, however, as they face Iraq in their tournament opener on Tuesday. Guided by former Australia head coach Graham Arnold, the Lions of Mesopotamia were the final side to secure a spot at this summer's tournament, clinching qualification through the inter-confederation playoffs in March.
Iraq returns to the world stage after a 40-year hiatus, with claiming its first-ever World Cup point serving as the primary goal.
Here's how to catch Iraq vs. Norway on television across the world.
