“(Norway) is one of the possibilities. They have players competing in the top leagues, a national team that is showing its strength in these Qualifiers,” confirmed Rodrigo Caetano, coordinator of the men’s national teams at CBF.

Brazil intends to wait for the outcome of the European Qualifiers before finalizing this matter. Norway could secure a spot in the World Cup during this November FIFA window.

Previously, the CBF had already confirmed its desire to face European teams next year. Teams like France and Croatia are also being considered as possible opponents for the National Team, which faces Senegal this Saturday and Tunisia next Tuesday.
