Norway coach: Hege Riise

One of the best players of her generation, Riise won EURO, World Cup and Olympic titles with her country. After assisting Pia Sundhage with the United States, leading LSK Kvinner to multiple titles and managing England, Great Britain and Norway's Under-19s (taking them to the 2022 WU19 EURO final), she was promoted to coach the seniors in August 2022.

Norway captain: Maren Mjelde

The 33-year-old Chelsea star had earned 165 caps for her country before the World Cup began but has so far been unable to add that title to her numerous trophies won at club level.
