# Norway's Haaland Named in Euro 2024 Squad as Team Aims to Qualify for Finals

Norway's star striker Erling Haaland has been named in the squad for the Euro 2024 tournament, sparking excitement among fans as the team gears up for what promises to be a thrilling campaign. With a mix of seasoned veterans and rising talents, the squad is poised to make a significant impact in the competition.

The announcement of the squad comes as Norway prepares to compete in their second consecutive major international tournament after their impressive performance in the 2020 Euros. Head coach Steffen Bjelland has assembled a strong team, with Haaland leading the charge as the team's key asset. Known for his clinical finishing and ability to turn games around, Haaland's inclusion is seen as a major boost for the team's chances.

Joining Haaland in the squad are other notable names like Sverre Baardsgaard, who has been a consistent presence in defense, and Alexander Isak, the dynamic young striker who has been in scintillating form for club and country. The team also features experienced midfielders like Øystein Møller and Torgeir Lundby, who are expected to provide the midfield backbone needed to control games.

Speaking about the squad, coach Bjelland expressed his pride in the group of players he has assembled. "This squad is a perfect blend of experience and youth," he said. "We have players who have been through the highs and lows of international football, and they are all eager to prove themselves on the biggest stage. Erling, in particular, is a game-changer, and I believe his presence will inspire the team to push their limits."

As Norway aims to qualify for the finals of Euro 2024, the pressure is on to deliver a strong performance. The team is grouped with heavyweights like Germany, France, and Portugal, but Bjelland remains confident. "We might be underdogs, but we have the quality and determination to go far," he added. "Our style of play is attacking and entertaining, and I believe that will resonate with the fans."

With the tournament kicking off in June, Norway's fans are already gearing up to support their team. The inclusion of Haaland and the rest of the squad has reignited hopes of a successful campaign. Euro 2024 is set to be a memorable tournament, and Norway's presence promises to add more drama and excitement to the proceedings.
