Iraq are set to compete at their first finals in 40 years after qualifying for the 2026 edition back in March.
A play-off win against Bolivia earlier this year means the West Asian outfit will hope to defy the odds in a group containing themselves, Norway, France and Senegal.
Norway were unbeaten throughout qualifying, winning all eight of their games to earn a spot at the tournament for the first time since 1998.
Reaching the last 16 in France, they hold plenty of new superpowers, with arguably the best striker on the planet leading their line.

Iraq vs Norway: World Cup 2026 Preview
Iraq boss Graham Arnold has completed nothing short of a miracle since he was appointed back in May 2025.
Inheriting a team that was at risk of elimination from the AFC qualifiers, the ex-Socceroos boss managed to guide the squad through the third, fourth and fifth rounds and into the inter-confederation playoffs.
Beating Bolivia to book their place at the finals in a 2-1 win means the country will be right behind them in three tricky matches to come, with France and Senegal next up.
They arrive in North America having played three friendlies since their success against Bolivia, beating Andorra 1-0 in May, drawing 1-1 with Spain on June 4 and losing 2-0 against Venezuela four days later.
Norway were one of the standout sides in European qualifying, collecting all 24 points on offer.
Stale Solbakken's side were rampant in their group, finding the back of the net 37 times, and they only conceded five goals in that stretch.
Led by talismanic striker Haaland, the City star will not be their only weapon in the final third on Tuesday, given that he may start alongside Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sorloth.
Arsenal's Martin Odegaard will lead his national team out as skipper, and the midfielder is set to be joined by Sander Berge and Fredrik Aursnes in midfield.
Iraq vs Norway: Group I
FourFourTwo's prediction
Iraq 0-2 Norway
Norway should ease past the Asian minnows, with Haaland scoring once.
