\"@erling being a nr 1 artists in Norway was not on my bingo card for 2026,\" Kygo wrote on Instagram, which Haaland reposted to his stories Thursday.

Haaland, who also plays for Manchester City Football Club, will face his former Tottenham Hotspur Premier League rival, Harry Kane, on Saturday.
Norway has only competed in three World Cups previously, one of which included Haaland's father Alfie in 1994 that didn't make it past the group stage.
The nation's best performance was making the Round of 16 in 1998, but has been absent from the international tournament for 28 years.

England has won all of its matches, except a 0-0 draw against Ghana in the group stage, and is looking to win its first World Cup title since 1966.
Norway advanced out of the group stage with two wins, only one loss to France, and most recently knocked out Brazil 2-1.
The England-Norway match will take place at 5 p.m. ET and airs live on Fox and Telemundo.
