FIFA has declared that Haikkin will not play for Norway until the year 2028.

FIFA has ruled that Haikin will not play for the Norwegian national team until 2028. FIFA has rejected the appeal filed by the Norwegian Football Federation.

The decision made in Zurich is final. As confirmed by Norwegian journalist Jan Petter Svallett to “Champions”, the appeal filed by the Norwegian Football Federation was rejected. Nikita Haikin will not be officially allowed to play for the new national team until March 2028.

However, the goalkeeper still has a real chance of being included in the squad for Euro 2028. The tournament will start after the ban is lifted, so it’s possible that our goalkeeper will get the chance to play for the national team.
