Norway is enjoying a strong run at the World Cup, and after their 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast, fans’ attention quickly shifted to a touching moment off the pitch. A video shows Erling Haaland embracing his sister Gabrielle in the stands shortly after the final whistle. The clip quickly went viral on social media, with many users highlighting the striking resemblance between the siblings.

Gabrielle Haaland Is Being Compared to Erling Online

The fan channel “EPL Bible” shared the footage on X, writing: “Erling Haaland’s sister looks more like Haaland than he does,” as reported by Image.

Other reactions were very similar. “Wait, she really is the female version of him,” wrote one user, while another commented that the two were “basically twins.”

Blonde hair, striking features, and that familiar smile immediately stand out in the video. It was exactly these traits that made the brief post-match moment so special for many viewers.

Erling Haaland Is Three Years Younger Than His Sister

In reality, Erling and Gabrielle Haaland are not twins. The 28-year-old is three years older than the Norwegian striker. The family also includes an older brother named Astor. Gabrielle works full-time as a nursing assistant and regularly supports her brother at tournaments from the stands.

On Instagram, she often shares photos with her brothers from holidays and family celebrations after big sporting successes. She currently has around 119,000 followers on the platform, with some reports citing as many as 176,000.

Gabrielle is Also Accompanying Her Brother to the World Cup

According to 20min.ch, Gabrielle is present at the tournament, cheering on Erling from the stands alongside the rest of the family. His father, Alf-Inge Haaland — a former professional footballer — and his mother, Gry Marita Braut, a former heptathlete, are also frequently in attendance.

Although the parents are no longer married, they continue to unite in support of their son during important matches. Alf-Inge also has two children from his second marriage, making the Haaland family even larger.

Norway Dreams of Its Next Big Step

Norway is enjoying a dream run on the pitch. After defeating Ivory Coast to reach the Round of 16 — their first-ever knockout stage appearance at a World Cup — they stunned Brazil with a 2-1 victory. Next, they face England.

There is huge excitement across the country, with fans celebrating to the sound of drums. Many are wondering just how far Erling, Gabrielle, and the entire Haaland family can go on this remarkable journey.
