As thousands of fans flock to Miami for the upcoming quarter-final match and keep the city’s football craze going, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to bring together every Erling Haaland-looking person in one place.
That someone is none other than Emma Kate Willman, a creator from Charleston who recently went viral for her uncanny resemblance to the Norwegian striker after posting a hair-braiding tutorial. Millions of viewers flocked to her Instagram comments to point out the similarities, with Haaland himself even commenting a simple “Hi 👍”.
Leaning into her newfound status as Haaland’s doppelgänger, Willman is partnering with Kalshi to put this contest together. Taking place at the Bayfront Park Fountain at 1 p.m. on July 11, one lookalike winner will earn two free tickets to the Norway vs. England quarter-final at the Hard Rock Stadium that same evening!
The instructions are simple: pull up if you look like the 6’5″ Norse god of football. Got the slicked-back blonde mane? Manchester City or Norway jersey? The undeniable Viking energy of the Terminator of the pitch?
If so, you better be ready to bust put his Zen meditation celebration next to the Bayfront fountain! Willman has noted that to participate, all you need is the resemblance, your “best dance moves” and, of course, be rooting for Norway.
So whether you’re competing or pulling up to see the Haalands, mark it on your calendar: Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m., 320 N Biscayne River Dr.
May the best Viking win!
