“Erling Haaland Donates Over €1 Million to Provide Education for Children in Norway and Africa

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has pledged more than €1 million to ensure children in both his homeland of Norway and underprivileged communities in Africa have access to quality education and learning resources.”

Full details :

 

 

I couldn’t find any credible reports confirming that Erling Haaland has donated over €1 million specifically to provide education for children in Norway and Africa. The claim appears to be unsubstantiated as of now.

 

What is documented:

 

Football Kit Donations in Norway: In 2023, Haaland generously gifted 1,000 children under 12 in his hometown area (Time municipality in Norway) with packages containing a football, T-shirt, shorts, football bag, and an “Aquafigure” drinking bottle—a brand he endorses and has invested in. Each kit was valued at approximately 1,500 NOK (~£111). The total value of this initiative was reportedly over £110,000.

 

 

This act received significant attention, with many fans calling it a heartwarming gesture. One Reddit user remarked,

 

> “Haaland has initiated and paid for this… about 1000 players… t‑shirt, shorts, football and a Haaland drinking bottle. Value of around 100£.”

 

 

 

 

 

No Evidence of €1 Million Donation for Education

 

No reliable sources (news outlets, Haaland’s official channels, or trusted charities) report that Haaland has pledged or donated over €1 million toward educational funding in Norway and Africa.

 

The detailed coverage of his charitable activities in 2023 centers largely on sports kits, local community engagement, health and youth campaigns in Norway—no mention of Africa or large-scale educational funding.
