Egil Selvik

Egil Selvik is a confirmed goalkeeper in Norway's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named in Ståle Solbakken's final 26. The Watford goalkeeper is 28 at kick-off and brings 6 senior caps into the squad, heading to his first World Cup.

Norway were drawn in Group I alongside France, Senegal and Iraq. They open against Iraq at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on 16 June, then face Senegal at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on 22 June and France at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on 26 June. Norway came through by winning UEFA Group I, qualifying on 16 November 2025, with Selvik one of three goalkeepers in the 26.

Selvik is a goalkeeper for Watford and one of three goalkeepers in Norway's 2026 World Cup squad. His role is within that goalkeeping group, named by Solbakken among the keepers for the finals.

For Norway, Selvik is a goalkeeping option in the 26, a keeper with 6 senior caps to his name. He travels to the tournament as one of the goalkeepers Solbakken named rather than as a long-capped international.

Norway take Selvik as a Watford goalkeeper, his 6 caps the record a squad keeper brings to the tournament. Norway rank as a £17m side in Tier 3, a pick within the game's £200m card budget, beginning their Group I run when the finals start.

It is what travels with Selvik out to the finals, named among the squad for the games to come, his name among those Solbakken settled on.
