Ivory Coast vs Norway: TV Info, Kick-Off Time, and Viewing Details for World Cup Last-32

Ivory Coast and Norway meet in a surprising World Cup showdown as Erling Haaland aims to lead his team past the last-32 stage.

Norway is back at the World Cup finals for the first time since 1998. They dominated their group, securing qualification before eventually falling to France. Along the way, they beat Iraq and Senegal, with Haaland scoring four goals.

Despite a heavy 4-1 loss to Les Bleus, Norway’s coach Stale Solbakken rested most of the key players during that final group match. This means Ivory Coast will face a refreshed Norwegian squad.

The Elephants have also shown strength in the tournament, defeating Ecuador and Curacao in their group. They pushed four-time champions Germany to the limit but lost in the closing moments due to a goal from super-sub Deniz Undav.

Match Timing and Location

The clash takes place on Tuesday, 30 June at 6pm BST (12pm CT) at Dallas Stadium.

Where to Watch

Fans in the UK can catch the match live on BBC One. It’s also available to stream through BBC iPlayer and on the BBC Sport website.

What’s Next for the Winner?

The victor will meet Brazil in the round of 16 after Brazil narrowly defeated Japan with a last-minute goal from Gabriel Martinelli. That encounter is scheduled for Sunday, 5 July at New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Team Updates

Ivory Coast is likely to miss defender Wilfried Singo, who remains sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained against Germany and missed the game versus Curacao.

Norway has concerns over Julian Ryerson on the right side of defense; he missed training due to a thigh issue. Key players like Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, rested against France, are expected to return.
