Joined Red Bull Salzburg in January 2019; was selected for the Norwegian national men's football team in August; made his debut for the Norwegian national men's football team on September 6; joined Borussia Dortmund in December.

Haaland’s professional experience and advantages:

Haaland’s father talked about Haaland’s track and field experience in an interview with Norway’s Daily Magazine. “That was before he started playing football. We took him to athletics and let him test himself. Erling played handball, track and field and cross-country skiing until he was 14. The manager of a handball team in Norway was I hope he can continue playing handball.”

The father revealed that Haaland had played cross-country skiing for a long time, and the coach of a handball team also wanted to recruit him. Harland often participated in track and field competitions as a teenager, and his performance also attracted the attention of track and field coaches. But in the end, Harland chose to step onto the green field, and this was undoubtedly the influence of his father.

In addition to his father being a football player, Haaland's mother is also an athlete and is the Norwegian national champion in the heptathlon. With such talent and physical fitness, it's no wonder that Harland is so good on the green field.
