That's what you knew: That's why Hawaii has “Brawt” written on its Norwegian fan.

Norway returned to the World Cup after a 28-year absence impressively, defeating Iraq with a convincing score of 4-1.

Haaland opened a series of goals just before the 30th minute, before Aymen Husseyin equalized 10 minutes later.

However, Norwegians took only a few minutes to restore his team's supremacy, realizing by 2-1 in the 43rd minute and registering its 57th goal with the national.

Leo Ostigard scored head-to-head after a knock from Martin Odegaard's corner in the 76th minute for the score of 3-1, while Hussein's autogool in the extra time sealed Norway's 4-1 victory.

Despite his excellent appearance in front of the gate, fans noticed that the name on the Haaland lantern looked a little different from the one he wears when playing for Manchester City.

When playing for the English club, he just bears his last name “Hallandan” along with number 9.

However, with Norway, “Brawt Haaland” is written on his account, and this has an explanation.

“Braut” is the name of his mother's daughter, and City's attacker uses it on social networks as well as on national fans.

According to “ > This is a tribute to both his parents ' names and reflects a Norwegian tradition, where it is more common to use both mother and father's last name. However, not every Norwegian footballer follows this practice. In the case of the attackers, Mr. Brown comes from his mother, the Marieta Braut, former champion of heptathlon, while éHaland comes from his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, former Leeds United and Manchester City”.

Despite being born in the English city of Leeds, Hawaii is proud of its Norwegian origin and returned to its parents ' hometown of Bryne, when he was three years old.

He later joined the local club academy and played for the first team between 2016 and 2017.

As mentioned earlier, because he was born in England, Hawaii had the right to represent England. In an interview with GOAL in 2023, however, he explained why he chose Norway.

I lived here (in England) for three and a half years or four and lived in Norway for much longer, so it was natural for me to choose Norway,” said Haaland.

I don't know what it would be like if my father had played longer in England or something. Maybe I'd be English, I don't know. But yes, I'm Norwegian and I'm proud of that”, he said.

Norway returns to action on June 23rd against Senegal before facing France on June 26th.
