World Cup star and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has offered a glimpse into his personal life, detailing his gaming setup and aspirations within the industry. In a recent "day in the life" video, Haaland expressed his strong affinity for Xbox, even showcasing his Xbox-branded mini-fridge, which he keeps stocked with beverages.
Haaland stated his ambition to one day secure a sponsorship deal with Xbox. "One day, Xbox, I want them to sponsor me," he remarked during the video. His gaming space also accommodates LAN parties with friends. While a DualSense controller was visible on his gaming table, suggesting he also plays on PlayStation, his primary allegiance appears to be with Xbox.
When discussing his favorite games, Haaland singled out 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as one of the greatest titles of all time. He also named Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto as his "desert island" games, expressing significant anticipation for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. "I can't wait for the new one," he said.
A notable moment from the video showed FC 24, a game he plays, featuring himself on its cover, highlighting his integration into the football gaming world. Haaland is also preparing for an important Norway World Cup match against England on July 11.
