The Match: Norway vs Portugal Preview

Few fixtures on the Nations League calendar carry the weight of this one. Norway return to Ullevaal on the back of a historic year, while Portugal arrive as one of the true heavyweights of European football. It’s a clash of a rising golden generation against a side stacked with silverware, and it kicks off Norway’s first campaign back in Nations League A.

Norway: riding the Haaland wave into the top flight

Norway’s 2026 has been the stuff of dreams. Qualifying for their first World Cup since 1998, they went on to reach the quarter-finals before falling to England — comfortably the country’s best tournament run in decades. At the heart of it all is Erling Haaland, who scored seven goals across the tournament and has rewritten Norway’s all-time scoring records along the way, now sitting among the most prolific international goalscorers of his generation. Around him, coach Ståle Solbakken has built a squad with real depth — captain Martin Ødegaard pulling the strings in midfield, Antonio Nusa providing width, and a backline that has grown up together through qualifying. Promotion to Nations League A means Norway now face the continent’s elite on a regular basis, and a home game against the European champions in front of a full, roaring Ullevaal is exactly the kind of test this squad has been building towards.

Portugal: the champions with Ronaldo still leading the line

Portugal travel to Oslo as one of the form teams in world football, built around a golden generation of their own and still spearheaded by Cristiano Ronaldo, whose longevity at the top of the international game remains one of the sport’s enduring stories. With proven winners throughout the squad and a track record of success in this exact competition, Portugal will start this Group A4 opener as favourites — but Norway’s home form, and the sheer noise Ullevaal can generate on a big European night, make this anything but a formality.

For the travelling fan, this is a rare chance to watch two of Europe’s most talked-about national teams share a pitch, in a compact stadium that puts you right on top of the action. Get to Oslo early, soak up the build-up around the ground, and expect a sold-out house from kick-off.

Head-to-Head Record

Norway and Portugal have met only rarely at senior level, which only adds to the occasion — this is a genuinely fresh fixture rather than a well-worn rivalry. Portugal’s recent international pedigree gives them the edge on paper, but Norway have shown all year that they no longer fear reputations, having already beaten Brazil and Ivory Coast on the way to their World Cup quarter-final. A first competitive meeting between these two sides at Ullevaal is impossible to call with real confidence.

Getting to Ullevaal Stadion

Ullevaal Stadion sits in the Nordre Aker district in the north of central Oslo, and it’s one of the easiest major stadiums in Europe to reach. The stadium has its own dedicated stop, Ullevål stadion, on Oslo Metro (T-bane) lines 4 and 5, roughly 10 minutes from the central stations of Jernbanetorget, Stortinget and Nationaltheatret — trains run every few minutes and services are reinforced on matchdays. If you’re arriving by tram, routes 17 and 18 stop at John Collets plass, about a 10-minute walk from the ground. Several bus routes, including the 23 and 24 airport buses, also serve the Ring 3 area near the stadium. Parking at the ground itself is very limited and mostly reserved for accessibility needs, so public transport is strongly recommended — the Ruter app covers tickets and live departures for the whole network.

Where to Sit: Stadium Sector Plan

Ullevaal is a compact, largely two-tier bowl, and tickets are sold by category rather than named stands: Shortside sections sit behind each goal, while Longside sections run along the two touchlines, with Upper, Lower and Middle Tier variants of each depending on how high up you are. Numbering runs from the 100s (lower bowl, closest to the pitch) up through the 200s (side and corner sections), 400s (upper-tier sideline seating) and 600s (curved end and corner sections upstairs). Portugal’s travelling support is allocated a dedicated Away Fan Section, positioned on the upper shortside near the corner — check the section number printed on your ticket, since away allocations are strictly segregated and stewarded. If you want to be close to the home crowd’s noise, the lower-tier Longside and Shortside sections (100s/300s) put you nearest the pitch on the touchline and behind the goal respectively.

Where to Stay in Oslo

Oslo is compact and well connected, so most visiting fans base themselves centrally and reach Ullevaal by metro in around 10 minutes. The area around Oslo Sentralstasjon (Oslo S) puts you at the main transport hub with a direct link to the stadium and easy access if you’re arriving by train or airport express. The city centre around Karl Johans gate and Stortinget keeps you close to the main sights, restaurants and nightlife, with a short metro ride to the ground. And staying near Grünerløkka gives you Oslo’s trendiest neighbourhood of bars, cafés and vintage shops, still well served by tram and metro connections to the stadium.

Getting Around & Sightseeing

Oslo is one of the easiest capitals in Europe to navigate, with a joined-up network of metro, tram, bus and ferry all covered by Ruter and a single ticket type. The airport express train (Flytoget) connects Gardermoen to Oslo S in about 20 minutes, and from there the whole city, including Ullevaal, is a short ride away. With the fjord on one side and forested hills on the other, Oslo rewards a full weekend around the match: waterfront museums, world-class modern architecture, and some of the best value Nordic dining outside Copenhagen.

Things to Do Around the Game

In town for the match? Make a weekend of it. Oslo punches well above its weight for a city break — the Vigeland sculpture park, the Munch Museum, a fjord cruise past the islands, and the Viking Ship Museum’s remarkable collection. Pre-booked, skip-the-line tickets save you queueing time on a short trip. Here are a few of our favourite experiences to build your non-football hours around:
