It is popular with the fans. In the future, the supporters will have to get used to a new name on the Erling Haaland jersey.
Fans of the Norwegian national team will have to look closely in the future: Erling Haaland is now running with a complete surname. This was confirmed by the Norwegian Football Association at the request of the German Press Agency. Accordingly, “bride Haaland” will be on the striker’s jersey. First the “Sport Bild” reported about it.
For the first time, the 25-year-old is wearing the new lettering in the friendly against Finland on September 4th. It is currently still open whether he will also appear on the jersey at Manchester City.
Norway’s national coach Ståle Solbakken was surprised by the change. The Spanish newspaper “Marca” quoted him with the words, that was his name after all – “I knew nothing about it so far,” said Solbakken.
