Norway penalty taker

Erling Haaland is our current Norway penalty taker call, with Martin Odegaard next in line if the order changes.

UEFA reported Haaland missed an early penalty and still scored a hat-trick against Israel. The miss does not change the hierarchy; it is still direct evidence that he is Norway's first-choice taker. Martin Odegaard is the obvious backup if Haaland is unavailable or has already gone off.

If you searched for Norway penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Erling Haaland is the current first-choice call for Norway, with Martin Odegaard the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
