The opening match of the 2024 European Championship will take place on 14 June at Allianz Arena in Munich. However, the tournament will be missing Erling Haaland, as his team, Norway, did not qualify for the tournament. How does the brilliant forward spend his free time?

Without a doubt, Erling Haaland is one of the world's best and most effective footballers. For the second season in a row, he is the leader of Manchester City, and no one at the English club can imagine a scenario in which the Norwegian leaves the team. His contract is valid until June 2027.

Despite this, Haaland is regularly linked with Real Madrid. However, there is no indication that the 23-year-old will change clubs in the coming months.

Considering his football potential, Haaland should play in Euro 2024, which starts on 14 June. The problem is that his team, Norway, failed to secure a spot in the tournament, resulting in the great player taking a well-deserved vacation.

The 23-year-old forward was spotted kicking a ball on a yacht in Cannes, France. He was accompanied by a friend who also used to play football.

It is worth noting that at the beginning of this week, Erling played as a DJ in Marbella. Haaland and his entourage were spotted at a massive party in the region.

The great form of the Norwegian forward

Erling has won the Premier League twice, as well as the FA Cup and the Champions League in the last two years.

Last season, he scored 45 goals in all competitions for City and six of Norway's 14 goals in the qualifying campaign. However, this was not enough to secure a spot in Euro 2024, which starts this evening (14 June) at 7 PM Greenwich Mean Time.
