The 24-year-old Manchester City star is good friends with MFF attacker and fellow countryman Erik Botheim since their time in the U15 national team.
Now the attacker sat in the honorary stand at Eleda Stadium when Malmö secured the SM gold via 2–1 against arch-rival IFK Göteborg.
He was very happy and thought it was fun to see Swedish football, not least Malmö, says Botheim.
Haaland and his company – including dad Alf-Inge – all wore MFF jerseys with Botheim on the back.
He said he bought fifty Botheim jerseys, so he'll have enough, says Botheim.
A year ago, Haaland came second in the Ballon d'Or vote after Argentine Lionel Messi, but now he chose to skip the gala in Paris where teammate Rodri was named the world's best player.
It's SM gold and Malmö, then you want to be at the match, says Botheim about his friend's decision to snub the gala in Paris.
It was he who wanted to come himself and he brought some friends himself.
There was great commotion in the stands when it turned out Haaland was present. Many wanted to take pictures of the Norwegian.
Personally, I'm used to it being like that with him. He's a superstar. I had focus on the match, but I know it always gets chaotic. I think it was nice that he and his friends came and watched the match, says Erik Botheim.
