Summarizing UEFA and player context

For UEFA 2026, there are 16 slots, with the format still to be confirmed. The European qualifiers in 2025 will have 12 groups, allowing direct qualifications for winners and playoffs for others, including those from the Nations League. A player faced disappointment when Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2024 and Qatar 2022, perhaps feeling discouraged about his World Cup ambitions. He thought he might never play, especially since Norway hasn't qualified since 1998. I'm considering if the user wants a translation or further details.
