Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans

Fans will be able to play as Haaland in Clash of Clans from Wednesday, May 1st, and enjoy a host of football-themed features appearing in the game throughout the month, including special troop characters and medal events. As an additional fun challenge, fans will also have the chance to defeat Haaland's in-game village. Haaland is known around the world for his football skills — but he also knows a thing or two about video games. Haaland is a long-time fan of Clash of Clans, building an impressive in-game village that he's defended from rival clans. It's his love of Clash of Clans that prompted him to partner with the game.

"It's been tough to keep this one quiet, but I'm excited to finally be able to talk about this epic partnership with Clash of Clans. I've been a huge fan of the game for a long time and know everything about it, so to appear as an in-game character is really cool," said Haaland.

"When we heard Erling Haaland was a fan of our game and that he wanted to partner with us, it was really a dream scenario. Our team did everything we could to bring him, one of the world's best athletes, into the world of the game so our players could enjoy a truly special moment," said Clash of Clans General Manager, Stuart McGaw.
