Haaland said: ‘I’ve been a huge fan, so to appear as an in-game character is really cool’

Haaland wrote on social media, “From the pitch to the battlefield!

“I’ve been a huge fan of the game for a long time and know everything about it, so to appear as an in-game character is really cool.”

Since its first release more than ten years ago, it has been downloaded over two billion times, making it one of the most played mobile games worldwide at the moment.

In a power struggle, players construct their own hamlet and conduct raids against adversaries.

“When we heard Haaland was a fan of our game and that he wanted to partner with us, it was really a dream scenario,” stated Stuart McGaw, general manager of Clash of Clans.
