Grainger acknowledged Sunde's quality but emphasized the competition for places in the national team. "There are many who are vying for positions," she stated. Norway, who finished second in their qualifying group behind Germany, must advance through these playoffs to qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. "Our task is crystal clear: we must qualify for the World Cup in Brazil next year," Grainger declared.
