The travelling Norwegian fans became quite popular in North America during the 2026 World Cup.
Norway made personal history when they reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time, while their travelling supporters drew a lot of attention on social media thanks to their infamous ‘Viking Row’.
The Norwegians who made the trip to North America performed their row in a number of notable places, including Times Square and some non-soccer sporting events, including at a New York Mets game.
Now, while the World Cup is over, star player Erling Haaland has been videoed doing the Viking Row again, this time at the wedding of a teammate.
Erling Haaland does the Viking Row at Gianluigi Donnarumma’s wedding
For those who only perhaps started following Haaland after he became popular during this summer’s World Cup, he plays his club football for English Premier League side Manchester City.
One of Man City’s primary goalkeepers is Gianluigi Donnarumma, who got married this week.
Haaland was invited to the wedding, and there are now several clips doing the rounds on social media showing the striker leading a group of wedding guests in the Viking Row.
It is fair to say that the World Cup has done wonders for Haaland’s social profile, introducing him to a new, American audience.
Elsewhere this week, Cody Rhodes was asked about Haaland appearing in WWE, and suggested they could do a storyline in which the pair are cousins.
Meanwhile, fans praised the Manchester City player after he greeted a stranger while on holiday in a ‘genuinely wonderful’ moment.
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr and actor Terry Crews have also extended a gym invite to Haaland this week.
