Wales aims for redemption against Norway after poor Nations League start
Summary

Wales prepares to host Norway on October 1 after a disappointing start in Nations League A, losing 2-0 to Denmark and 1-0 to Portugal. Manager Craig Bellamy remains confident of his team's quality and their right to compete at this level, despite not winning in six matches in 2026. The upcoming match will be crucial as Wales looks to avoid a year without a victory, a situation not faced since 1989. Norway recently suffered a defeat to Portugal, having earlier defeated Denmark 3-2. Bellamy acknowledges Norway's progress and predicts they will be a significant force in European football for years to come.
