Erling Haaland’s fresh hairstyle and distinct fashion sense stole the show as he was revealed as the cover star of EA Sports FC 2024 – but fans are baffled.

Erling Haaland attended the official reveal of EA Sports FC to celebrate his appearance on the cover, but many were baffled by his costume.

The Manchester City and Norway striker was chosen to appear on the front cover of the new video game, which is the first time it has not been affiliated with FIFA. The 22-year-old made a WWE-style entrance in front of a pleased audience in Amsterdam, but viewers at home noticed something else.

On social media, one spectator said, “Haaland with dreads and in his pyjamas, what am I seeing?” “Haaland showed up to the FC24 Premier in his pyjamas, he really doesn’t rate it,” a second added.

“Haaland rocks up in his pyjamas and says the cover ‘isn’t bad’ I can’t with this guy,” said a third.

“Haaland wearing his f***ing pyjamas hahahah,” said a fourth.

It’s not the first time Haaland has been spotted in designer comfies, most recently when City celebrated their Treble in a local restaurant.

The game’s cover, which depicts Haaland striking the ball during his five-goal haul against RB Leipzig, has also received negative feedback.

Following the conclusion of their cooperation, EA Sports has emerged from FIFA’s shadow.

However, the developers have obtained licenses from nearly 19,000 players, 700 clubs, and 100 stadiums.

The game will be launched on September 29, following the start of the new season, with the Ultimate Edition cover depicting 30 iconic players.

Fans have also criticized this, with one stating, “Hold up… Some of these players don’t resemble them at all.”

Haaland has been enjoying his summer break away from the sport with his partner.

The Treble winner has been soaking up every moment with Isabel Johansen, grinning while on their St Tropez vacation.

Haaland, who scored 52 goals in 53 games in his rookie season with City, may have frightened supporters about a potential injury while water skiing.
