A team packed with experience and considered to be one of the elite teams. They had a surprisingly weak World Cup in Russia (9th place) but will surely bounce back and should be considered as one of the favourites in the tournament.

The Norwegian national team will commence their group play in Göteborg and will stay there for the middle round as well.
