FIFA has officially denied Nikita Haikin, the goalkeeper for Norwegian club Bodø\u002FGlimt, the eligibility to represent the Norwegian national team. This ruling effectively removes him from contention for the global tournament.\n\nThe decision has drawn commentary from prominent Norwegian football journalist Jan Petter Saltvedt of NRK. Speaking with correspondent Alexander Yershov, Saltvedt characterized the potential absence of Haikin as a major setback for the Norwegian squad. He acknowledged the gravity of the situation, even while providing context about the player's recent trajectory.\n\nSaltvedt noted that since obtaining his Norwegian passport, Haikin has not consistently performed at the peak level he previously demonstrated. This dip in form meant that, at the current juncture, Haikin was likely positioned as the second or even third-choice candidate for the starting goalkeeper role within the national team setup.\n\nDespite this assessment of his current standing, the journalist emphasized that losing a player of Haikin's caliber and experience from the World Cup roster pool remains a substantial blow. His presence would have provided valuable depth and competition in a critical position as Norway prepares for the world's most prestigious football tournament.\n\nThe situation highlights the complex intersection of player eligibility, national team selection, and FIFA regulations. For Haikin, the ruling closes a chapter on his international aspirations with Norway for this particular World Cup cycle. For the Norwegian Football Federation and head coach Ståle Solbakken, it necessitates a reassessment of their goalkeeping depth chart with the tournament on the horizon.\n\nThe focus for Norway now shifts fully to the goalkeepers who are confirmed to be available. The team will need to solidify its options between the posts as qualification campaigns and preparatory matches continue. The absence of Haikin, regardless of his recent form, removes a familiar and potentially useful option from the manager's toolkit.\n\nThis development serves as a reminder of the stringent eligibility criteria enforced by FIFA for international competition. Players and national associations must navigate these rules carefully, as decisions can have direct and impactful consequences on team composition for major tournaments like the World Cup.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Norwegian journalist calls FIFA's decision to bar Nikita Haikin from the national team a significant loss for Norway's 2026 World Cup campaign, despite his recent form.","328181358868303873","0","2026-05-08T12:31:13Z","fifa-ruling-blocks-norwegian-goalkeeper-nikita-haikin-from-2026-world-cup","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6460834-norvezhskij-zhurnalist-otsutstvie-hajkina-na-chm-budet-bolshoj-poterej-dlya-nas.html","326222712395534336","Norway",[72,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257539962376192","326257546392244224","326257556634734592","326257565195309056","326257567107911680",[73,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],"Anderlecht","Canada","Como","Nottingham Forest","Barracas Central","Barcelona","Bodo\u002FGlimt","FIFA Ruling Blocks Norwegian Goalkeeper Nikita Haikin from 2026 World Cup",[92,124,152,181],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":93,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":94,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":67,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":95,"slug":96,"sourceName":97,"sourceURL":98,"teamId":99,"teamName":100,"teamIds":101,"teamNames":112,"title":123},"Guéla Doué scored and assisted as Ivory Coast beat France 2-1 in a friendly, outshining his brother Désiré who featured for Les Bleus in the sibling showdown.","338200147588550657","2026-06-05T04:00:00Z","guela-doue-downs-brother-s-france-ivorian-2-1-win","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FUn-but-et-une-passe-decisive-contre-la-france-la-soiree-de-reve-pour-guela-doue-avec-la-cote-d-ivoire\u002F1681944#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326222712533946368","Ivory Coast",[99,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,75],"326222711447621632","326255037997125632","326257536145559552","326222711401484288","326222767416414208","326257536078450688","326257536296554496","326257537865224192","326257686389723136","326257535994564608",[100,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,83],"France","Strasbourg","Rennes","Belgium","Lesotho","Paris Saint Germain","Auxerre","Estoril","Together","Nantes","Guéla Doué downs brother's France: Ivorian 2-1 win",{"awayTeamId":125,"awayTeamName":126,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":127,"homeTeamId":128,"homeTeamName":129,"id":130,"leagueId":29,"leagueName":30,"matchId":131,"matchName":132,"publishedAt":133,"slug":134,"sourceName":135,"sourceURL":136,"teamId":128,"teamName":129,"teamIds":137,"teamNames":144,"title":151},"326222712622026752","South Africa","Shakira & Burna Boy sing 'Dai Dai' at 2026 World Cup opener June 11 in Mexico City, with J Balvin, Tyla.
