Who Is Erling Haaland’s Brother & Does He Play Soccer?

Talk about having the world at his feet. In comes Erling Haaland with his Viking mentality and his golden hair, which suits well for a luxurious shampoo ad. In the previous campaign, he propelled Manchester City to a treble as the club won the English Premier League, FA Cup, and the prestigious UEFA Champions League. Moreover, his father Alf-Inge Haaland, a former Manchester City player, often follows his son at stadiums to show his immense support. Yet, where is brother? Does he show up for games?

Haaland’s upbringing in a sports-oriented family is evident in his powerful running style. Apart from being a soccer star, Haaland is a family man. During his first Premier League trophy ceremony, fans spotted the player celebrating his success with his loved ones. And in came Astor, who rarely attends soccer matches. 

Who is Astor, Erling Haaland’s elder brother?

Despite Haaland coming from a family of athletes, his brother took his talents to another field. Astor is five years older than the Norwegian soccer player and a tad bit taller than the Manchester City striker. Although he comes from a sporting family, Astor studied entrepreneurship at the University of South-Eastern Norway and completed finance at the BI Norwegian Business School. According to his LinkedIn profile, Astor is an Investment Banker at Arctic Securities. He also completed an internship at DNB Asset Management. 

Despite celebrating with Haaland in the title celebrations last year, the information remains limited to his brother’s whereabouts. However, Astor was born from Alf-Inge’s relationship with ex-wife, Gry Marita Braut. They have a sister named Gabrielle, who was also present during the title celebrations of Manchester City’s historic treble campaign. The siblings share a tight bond, often posting photographs of themselves on social media accounts. 

Even though Astor does not play soccer, he perhaps has a few touches with his brother in the backyard. Therefore, Haaland’s brother enjoyed the celebrations with his family last year. 

The entire family was present during the English Premier League celebrations at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland and family paraded around the stadium with the trophy, and Alf-Inge became a proud father. Therefore, it was one of the best moments for the Haalands. The striker had a campaign to remember by scoring 52 goals in all competitions. Thus, the striker assisted City to win the treble, which included the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. The City man cherishes his moments with family, according to various social media posts.
