Ivory Coast vs Norway: TV Details, Kick-Off Time, and World Cup Last-32 Preview

Ivory Coast and Norway face off in a surprising World Cup last-32 encounter. Erling Haaland aims to push his team past this stage after an impressive group run.

This is Norway’s first World Cup appearance since 1998. They advanced comfortably through the group, securing qualification before losing to France. Haaland scored four goals across matches against Iraq and Senegal.

Despite a heavy 4-1 loss to France, Norway's coach Stale Solbakken rested most key players during that match. This means Ivory Coast will face a refreshed Norwegian side.

The Elephants have shown their strength too, defeating Ecuador and Curacao and narrowly losing to Germany in the final group game, thanks to a late goal by super-sub Deniz Undav.

The match kicks off at 6pm BST (12pm CT) on Tuesday, June 30, hosted at Dallas Stadium.

Broadcast Information

In the UK, viewers can watch the match live on BBC One. Streaming is available via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

Next Opponent for the Winner

The winner will meet Brazil in the round of 16. Brazil secured a dramatic 96th-minute win over Japan thanks to Gabriel Martinelli. That clash is scheduled for Sunday, July 5, at New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Team Updates

Ivory Coast will likely miss defender Wilfried Singo again due to a hamstring injury sustained against Germany.

Norway has some doubts on the right side of defense as Julian Ryerson missed training with a thigh issue. Key players Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard return after resting against France.
