Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadion will frame a meeting of two generations of European scoring power on Sunday, when Norway host Portugal in the second round of UEFA Nations League Group D. Erling Haaland arrives after a landmark summer for Norway, while Cristiano Ronaldo continues his pursuit of 1,000 official career goals with Portugal’s title holders.
Norway and Portugal meet in Oslo
- Norway welcome Portugal to Ullevaal Stadion on Sunday 27 September 2026.
- The Group D fixture is scheduled for 12:45 Central Mexico time.
- It is Norway’s second Nations League match after a 3-2 opening victory over Denmark.
- Portugal enter for their second game under Jorge Jesus, who took charge after Roberto Martínez departed following the World Cup.
The hosts come into the occasion carrying confidence from their best-ever World Cup campaign. Norway reached the quarter-finals during the summer, led in large part by Haaland, who scored seven times in five matches at the tournament.
Haaland’s form has remained sharp beyond the World Cup. Across club and international football, he has registered nine goals in his past six appearances, giving Norway a powerful focal point as Portugal arrive in the Norwegian capital.
A familiar Portuguese target
Ronaldo remains at the centre of Portugal’s forward line and is closing on another extraordinary individual landmark. The striker has 979 official professional goals and is aiming to become the first player to reach 1,000.
He finished his latest Al-Nassr season with 29 goals in 33 games, working under Jorge Jesus before the coach moved into the Portugal job. Jesus now oversees the national team for only the second time in competition, taking on a side that have won the Nations League in both 2019 and 2025 and are the current holders.
