He added his mother’s maiden name, “Håland,” above the number 9 on the back of his shirt, effectively displaying his full name. This alteration was noticed by many viewers during the match. While the reason wasn’t immediately publicized, it’s understood to be a personal decision highlighting his family connection and heritage. The move has generated discussion among fans and media outlets. Haaland’s team secured a 4-0 victory over Iraq in the friendly match. This is the first time he has played for Norway in a World Cup qualifying campaign.
