Erling Haaland Quiz

Erling Haaland is the most ruthless goal machine of his generation — a giant, left-footed Norwegian who turned scoring into something close to a mechanical certainty. This free Haaland quiz runs the whole arc: the Bryne boy who moved to Molde under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the teenager who detonated at RB Salzburg, the Borussia Dortmund phenomenon, and the 2022 switch to Manchester City that handed Pep Guardiola the final piece of a treble. In his very first season at the Etihad he scored 36 Premier League goals — a single-season record for the competition — and 52 across all competitions. If you know which release clause City triggered to sign him from Dortmund, this quiz is for you.

The defining images arrive early and never let up. On 17 September 2019, a 19-year-old making his Champions League debut for Salzburg scored a first-half hat-trick against Genk — still the only player to manage that on his debut in the competition. Three years later he tore up the Premier League record book, reaching 100 goals in just 111 appearances in December 2025 — faster than Alan Shearer's 124, the quickest century the competition has ever seen. He is Norway's all-time leading scorer, and at the 2026 World Cup — his first — his two late goals sank Brazil in the last 16 and carried Norway to their first-ever quarter-final.

Expect the full spread. Easy openers — which country he plays for, which club signed him in 2022 — climb toward the detail that separates the fans from the fanatics: the €20m clause that took him from Salzburg to Dortmund, the three Premier League Golden Boots he had gathered by the 2025-26 season, the manager who gave him his breakthrough at Molde, the night he brought up his 300th career goal against Juventus. Transfers and fees, records, era and managers, iconic moments — it is all in here.
