The FIFA World Cup 2026 continues its knockout stage with a Round of 32 match between Ivory Coast and Norway on June 30, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast in English on FOX and in Spanish on Telemundo.
Both nations advanced from their group stages with identical records of two wins and one draw. Norway secured their spot by finishing second in Group I, despite a 4-1 loss to France in their final group game where several starters, including Erling Haaland, were rested. This performance placed them as the second-place team in a highly competitive "group of death."
Ivory Coast also finished second in their group. They secured victories against Ecuador and Curacao, with their sole loss coming against group winner Germany, who have since been eliminated from the tournament. Notable players for Ivory Coast include goalkeepers Yahia Fofana and Alban Lafont, defenders Ousmane Diomande and Odilon Kossounou, midfielders Seko Fofana and Franck Kessié, and forwards Simon Adingra and Nicolas Pépé.
Norway's squad features goalkeepers Ørjan Nyland and Sander Tangvik, defenders Kristoffer Ajer and Leo Østigard, midfielders Martin Ødegaard and Sander Berge, and forwards Erling Haaland and Alexander Sørloth.
