Norway’s squad for the World Cup event has Erling Haaland wearing a jersey that displays “Braut” instead of his family name.
The change honors his mother, a former model and entrepreneur Gry Marita Braut, whose surname is printed on the front of the kit.
The move was originally observed during Norway’s group game against England and has drawn attention from broadcasters across Canada.
Haaland’s father, retired defender and ex‑player, Alf‑Inge Haaland, has explained about the family homage in multiple interviews.
The jersey alteration has emerged as a talking point as Norway advances confidently in the tournament in the competition.
