2024/25 Season

Erling Haaland revealed his favourite nickname, his earliest memories of Manchester City, and what continues to drive him every day at a fundraising event in aid of the Club’s charity.

The Norwegian striker spoke candidly to an intimate audience of 40 fans at a special ‘Evening With’ event, designed in collaboration with Erling himself, in support of City in the Community (CITC).

Guests enjoyed a curated dinner, a private Q&A, and the chance to have their photo taken with the City number nine, with all proceeds directly supporting CITC programmes across Greater Manchester.

During the Q&A, Haaland said his favourite nickname so far was “a Viking – long hair, ruthless, I like that”.

Erling Haaland recently joined supporters for a memorable night in aid of the Club’s charity, City in the Community (CITC).

The intimate ‘Evening With’ event, designed in collaboration with Erling himself, welcomed 40 guests for a specially curated dinner, private Q&A with the Norwegian star, and individual photo opportunities.

The evening also featured a light-hearted ‘Question of Erling’ quiz, inspiring words from a CITC participant, and an auction of one-of-a-kind memorabilia — all helping to raise vital funds for the charity’s work.
