Don’t feel too bad for Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian soccer star was spotted celebrating his team’s remarkable World Cup run in Miami Saturday night, taking in a performance from Flo Rida at the downtown ultraclub, E11EVEN.
Haaland and Norway lost 2-1 to England in their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match, which was a scrappy affair that saw The Three Lions win it in extra time. This came after a Norwegian goal was overturned earlier in the match after refs cited Haaland for pushing English midfielder Elliot Anderson before a corner kick.
Still, the team captain didn’t seem to let the loss faze him, as he pulled up to E11EVEN Miami in a bus shortly after 1:30 a.m., with teammates Alexander Sørloth, Antonio Nusa, Oscar Bobb, Andreas Schjelderup, and Julian Ryerson in tow, among others. Perched high above the crowd in a VIP booth on the second floor of the club, the players were seen dancing and mingling with friends throughout the night, before turning their attention to a performance from Flo Rida around 3:30 in the morning.
Haaland was spotted singing along to Flo Rida’s hit single, “Low,” with his teammates cheering him on. Flo Rida later shouted out the Norwegian team during his set, asking the crowd to “Give it up for Norway in the house,” with Haaland giving a polite nod of acknowledgement from his booth above. Aside from dancing and singing during Flo Rida’s set, the superstar striker cast an otherwise low profile on the night, at one point turning down an offer to have bottles of Don Julio 1942 delivered to his booth from team members from the tequila company who were celebrating a birthday at the club (worth noting: Haaland’s booth appeared to already have a bottle of 1942 there, alongside bottles of E11EVEN Vodka).
Haaland is already a major star in the Premier League, where he plays for Manchester City F.C., but the long-locked (and blond-locked) 25-year-old became a breakout sensation during Norway’s World Cup campaign, where he led the country to its best international showing to date.
Sales of Haaland merch have also soared in the wake of Norway’s World Cup run with the team’s official jersey sold out on the Nike site. Only children’s jerseys, meantime, are still available on the merch site, Soccer.com.
