Despite his meteoric rise to stardom, Haaland has remained grounded and has recently shown his generosity by spending an enormous sum to help 200 supporters of his old club.

The recipient of Haaland’s goodwill is the Norwegian team, Bryne. Having joined the club at the youth level in 2015, the bond between Haaland and Bryne runs deep.

On Saturday, Bryne will face off against Start in Kristiansand in the OBOS League playoff final. What makes this match historic is the fact that this is the first time since 2006 that the club has reached the playoffs for Norway’s top division. The importance of this moment for the club cannot be understated, and the Manchester City striker also understands the value of having passionate supporters cheering from the stands.

In a heartfelt move, Haaland has generously offered to pay for the train tickets of up to 200 Bryne supporters, ensuring they can travel to Kristiansand to provide their unwavering support to the team. The estimated cost of this philanthropic undertaking is a staggering $10,400, according to tv2.no.

Haaland’s act of kindness does not end there, as he has also announced that he will provide bus tickets for those fans who prefer to travel by bus. Undoubtedly, the supporters of Bryne and the wider soccer community will appreciate and applaud Haaland’s benevolence. Other than his philanthropic work, another piece of news regarding him that has created waves is a potential offer from Saudi Arabia to sign him.
