A Change in Identity: Haaland Adds "Braut" to His Name on Norway's Jersey

In a surprising move, Manchester City star Erling Haaland has decided to officially change the name on his Norway national team jersey, adding his full surname, Braut Haaland. This minor change reflects a personal aspect of the player's life and is set to debut in the upcoming international matches.

First Appearance with the New Name

Next week will mark the highly anticipated first appearance of the Norwegian goal machine with his new name on his national team jersey. Haaland and his teammates will face Finland in a friendly match before taking on Moldova on September 9th as part of the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. This major tournament, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will give Haaland the opportunity to showcase his new name on the world stage.

Historic Achievements in a Short Career

It is worth noting that Haaland, at just 25 years old, has achieved astonishing feats with his national team in a short period. He has played in 43 international matches and has managed to score 42 goals, making him the all-time leading scorer for the Norwegian national team. This record-breaking achievement solidifies his status as one of the world's most prominent strikers today and confirms his pivotal role in leading his country's attack.
