No, this isn't AI. Norway's national team has gone viral for their official 2026 World Cup photo - every detail real. Shot by renowned photographer David Yarrow on a privatised beach near Oslo, the squad transformed into a full Viking army, complete with shields, swords, period costumes and longships lining the shore.
The shoot marks Norway's return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, ending a 28-year absence. With Erling Haaland and captain Martin Ødegaard leading the side, fans have crowned it one of the greatest team photos in football history. Norway kick off their Group B campaign on June 16.
