👀 Hoodoo! Brazil have never beaten Norway, see the record

👀 Hoodoo! Brazil have never beaten Norway, see the record Brazil’s National Team already knows its opponent in the 2026 World Cup round of 16: Norway, led by Haaland & Co. The European side secured its spot this Tuesday (30) by defeating Ivory Coast 2-1, with goals from the Manchester City star and Antonio Nusa. To advance to the quarterfinals, the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti will need to do something Brazil has never managed in football history: beat the Norwegian national team. Norway is one of the rare opponents in world football that boasts an unbeaten record against Brazil’s National Team. Since their first meeting in 1988, the two sides have played four matches, with two Nordic wins and two draws. The most iconic clash took place at the 1998 World Cup in France. On that occasion, the teams were in Group A, and Brazil even opened the scoring through Bebeto, but ended up losing 2-1 after goals from Tore André Flo and Kjetil Rekdal. Despite the setback, Brazil still advanced as group winners. The last meeting between the two countries took place 20 years ago, in a friendly in 2006, marking the start of the cycle after the elimination at the World Cup in Germany.
