Before becoming the killer of the 2026 World Cup, Erling Haaland was a 16-year-old teenager recording raps with his friends from the under-17 national team. The group was called Flow Kingz and their track ‘Kygo jo’ had already racked up millions of views on YouTube long before he set foot in a stadium as a star. 🎧
The Norwegian DJ Kygo, who took part in that original recording, made a public promise: if Haaland scored against Brazil in the round of 16, he would release a new version of the track. The Manchester City striker not only delivered, he scored a brace that sealed the match.
Hours later, the remix was already out. Today Haaland has seven goals in five matches in the tournament, but for a while everyone was talking about that teenager who dreamed of fame without imagining it would come through football. ⚽🔥
