Norway have already won the opening two matches in Group I, beating Moldova and Israel away.<\/p>\n

This means the Azzurri will need a result away in Oslo later this year as only the group winners qualify for the 2026 World Cup, while runners-up begin the playoff process in March 2026.<\/p>\n

The Azzurri have already faced playoff exits in the last two editions of the World Cup qualifiers and have last played the competition in 2014.<\/p>\n
