The Haaland safari: Bryne celebrates its famous son in Norway's newest tourist attraction
Briefly

Bryne FK, a Norwegian football club, has seen a significant resurgence since being promoted back to the Eliteserien after 22 years, generating excitement among fans. Erling Haaland, the club's former player, is a major figure in football, influencing even the youth culture, with children discussing him over traditional rivalries. The club offers themed experiences, such as a 'Haaland safari' for fans. These developments highlight the connection between a local football club and its broader cultural impact, especially through Haaland's prowess and legacy.
"It's a thrill, then, to take Ernest and the rest of my family to Norway's latest attraction: the Haaland safari. Bryne FK have even arranged for us to stay in the Haaland suite of the local Hotell Jren, where a mural on the wall of the living space depicts Erling at different stages of his career, starting as the milk-haired boy playing for Bryne FK."
"Last season they were promoted back to the Eliteserien, the top division, for the first time in 22 years in front of a capacity crowd of 5,000, and excitement is building before the start of the season at the end of March."
