Manchester City forward Erling Haaland is taking legal action against a Norwegian airline over an advertisement. According to Voetbal International, the dispute is not about a delayed flight or being seated in economy class, but about an advertisement intended as a joke.

The airline reportedly used an image of a plane with a ponytail resembling Haaland's hairstyle in a World Cup advert, as reported by the Daily Mail. Several Dutch and German media outlets, including AD, NOS, NU.nl, De Telegraaf, Der Spiegel, and Die Welt, report that Haaland is suing the airline for the unauthorized use of his ponytail in a social media post.
