It has been confirmed that one does not need to be Nord in order to enter Sovngarde upon death, for two primary reasons:

One: The Last Dragonborn, regardless of race, is allowed to enter Sovngarde, albeit briefly

Two: The Ebony Warrior, a Redguard, desires to be sent to Sovngarde upon death

If you happen to kill this Ebony Warrior upon reaching level 80, he will appear in Sovngarde upon you enting the Hall of Valor. As a matter of fact, it is possible for any soul of any race to enter Sovngarde as long as they meet two conditions:

One: They believe in Nordic traditions and religion

Two: They die honourably in battle
