Overview
- On Saturday a guest-shot video from Gianluigi Donnarumma's wedding in Locorotondo showed Erling Haaland starting the Norwegian 'remo vikingo' at the reception.
- Haaland struck a drum with a mallet to start the sequence and guests chanted the short Norwegian call 'Ro' while miming rowing, the same ritual used by Norway during the 2026 World Cup.
- The ceremony at San Giorgio Martire and the later reception gathered several Manchester City players and coach Roberto Mancini, who were seen in footage circulating online.
- Clips of the moment spread quickly on social media, adding to Haaland's heightened post-tournament profile after a large reported rise in his Instagram following.
- The scene highlights how football rituals can cross from national games into private events, changing how players' public images are made and shared and keeping World Cup moments in the public eye.
