During the Men’s Football World Cup 2026, the players on the field are again in the spotlight. In a video, Erling Haaland, one of Norway’s top players, gives a glimpse into his personal life and shows that he is a gamer.
Who is it about? This evening, Erling Haaland will be on the football field for Norway against France. It’s about nothing less than leading the group in the Men’s Football World Cup 2026. But the professional likes to be on the pitch not only at the World Cup or with his club Manchester City.
Here you can see a trailer for EA Sports FC 2026:
Haaland is a Gamer
Where else does he like to be on the pitch? Erling Haaland is a gamer. This is shown in a video on TikTok, where the player showcases his gaming room. He is a big fan of Xbox and besides his Series X, he also has a matching Xbox fridge with the same look. He even hopes that a gaming company will sponsor him one day.
On the console, he enjoys playing EA Sports FC and virtually likes to be on the pitch as well. He has the versions from 2024, 2025, and 2026 installed, and he is even on the cover of EA Sports FC 2024, which makes him proud in the video.
However, the professional doesn’t only think about football when he turns on his Xbox.
What does he also enjoy playing? When asked which game he would choose if he had to, the answer comes immediately: GTA 5. The professional is also eagerly awaiting the next installment. He particularly appreciates it when he can just relax with friends and have some fun in multiplayer.
He enjoys doing it the old-school way and explains that he hosted a LAN party only a month before the video. The monitors set up support his statement. He also has fun in Call of Duty, with the classics like Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 being part of his “Top 3 Video Games” alongside the newer titles.
If he wants something a bit calmer, Minecraft also belongs to his favorite titles and comes in right behind GTA 5 in second place.
Football professionals like Erling Haaland also enjoy playing video games in their free time. If you could recommend a title for his Xbox to the professional, what would it be?
