Erling Haaland Coloring Pages
Free Erling Haaland coloring pages – 30+ pages featuring him in Manchester City sky blue, the Norway national team red, portrait close-ups, chibi and cartoon styles, and action scenes – free printable PDF and online coloring for football fans of all ages.
Erling Braut Haaland was born on July 21, 2000, in Leeds, England, while his father, Alfie Haaland, was playing for Manchester City. He grew up in Bryne, Norway, and by the time he was 22 years old, he had already played professionally in four countries across four clubs – Molde, Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and finally Manchester City, where he signed in the summer of 2022.
What happened next at City is the kind of thing that makes people double-check the statistics. In his debut Premier League season, he scored 36 league goals in 35 appearances – breaking the single-season scoring record that had stood since Alan Shearer and Andy Cole set it in the mid-1990s. He also won the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup. He was 22.

What’s Inside
Manchester City Pages
Manchester City Erling Haaland, Erling Haaland Manchester City, Club Manchester City Erling Haaland, and multiple pages showing Haaland in City’s sky blue jersey are the collection’s most numerous, which makes sense, since most of the global audience encountering Haaland’s name today knows him primarily through his Premier League years.
Manchester City’s home kit is the most distinctive in English football: a very specific sky blue – not royal blue, not navy, not turquoise, but the particular pale-to-medium aqua-adjacent blue that the club has used for over a century. The name comes from the city of Manchester itself, where the club was founded in 1880 as St. Mark’s (West Gorton). When coloring the Manchester City pages, that sky blue is the anchor choice that everything else builds around: white shorts, white socks with a sky blue band, and the number 9 – which Haaland wears – in a contrasting shade.
The Manchester City crest that may appear on the jersey features the ship from the city’s coat of arms, representing Manchester’s connections to the canal and shipping trade that defined the industrial city. Getting the jersey color right makes these pages immediately recognizable to anyone who follows the Premier League.
Norway National Team Pages
Erling Haaland, Norway, and Erling Haaland World Cup show the other jersey that defines his career – Norway’s red kit, the colors he wears when representing the country where he grew up.
Norway’s national team plays in a deep red with white shorts and white socks – a clean, bold combination that reads very differently from the sky blue of its club kit, and creates a striking coloring contrast for anyone collecting multiple pages from this set. The Erling Haaland World Cup page carries some poignancy: as of 2025, Norway has not qualified for a FIFA World Cup since 1998, and despite Haaland’s extraordinary individual output for the national team, reaching a World Cup with Norway remains the significant achievement that has eluded him at the international level. That context gives the page meaning beyond its face value for fans who follow international football.
Portrait and Face Pages
Erling Haaland Face, Handsome Erling Haaland, Happy Erling Haaland, Cool Erling Haaland, and the various portrait-style pages isolate Haaland’s distinctive physical appearance: tall (194cm, the same height as a typical door frame), blond, with the slightly unfocused intensity of someone who is always mentally in the game even when the game hasn’t started yet.
His appearance is genuinely distinctive among Premier League strikers and translates well to illustration: the strong jaw, the light hair often tied back, the physique that makes him look like someone designed a striker in a laboratory and forgot to make him look approachable. The portrait pages reward careful attention to skin tone and hair – warm blonde, not platinum – and are some of the most technically interesting in the collection for anyone who enjoys figure drawing challenges.
Chibi and Cartoon Versions
Chibi Erling Haaland, Erling Haaland Chibi, Erling Haaland Cartoon, Erling Haaland Funny, Cute Haaland, and Cute Erling Haaland translate the world’s most physically imposing striker into the large-headed, small-bodied proportions of the chibi aesthetic, which creates a genuinely funny contrast. A 194cm Norwegian striker rendered as a round-faced, tiny figure in sky blue remains recognizable through jersey number and hair color, and these pages consistently draw the youngest fans in any group to color them first.
The cartoon and funny pages lean into Haaland’s slightly unusual public persona – calm, slightly robotic in interviews, intensely focused in a way that doesn’t always translate into warmth – and find the humor in it. These pages work with bold, confident color choices and flat application rather than shading or detail work.
Action and General Pages
Erling Haaland a professional soccer player, Erling Haaland to Color, Erling Haaland Pictures, Erling Haaland Sheets, and the full range of standard pages capture him in the physical language of a forward: the body position mid-strike, the movement toward the ball, the follow-through of a finish. These are the pages most useful for fans who want to understand what he actually does on the pitch by looking closely at how his body moves.
Who Erling Haaland Is – The Facts Worth Knowing
Haaland is the son of Alfie Haaland, a Norwegian midfielder who played in England for Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Leeds United. Alfie’s career ended prematurely due to a serious knee injury sustained while playing for Manchester City in 2002 – an incident that became one of the most discussed episodes in Premier League history. Erling grew up watching his father play and was reportedly at the stadium when the injury occurred.
At the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, in a single group stage match against Honduras on May 30, Haaland scored nine goals as Norway won 12–0. Nine. In one match. The figure is accurate – it remains a FIFA World Cup record for any age group, and it is the performance that announced his arrival to a global football audience.
At Red Bull Salzburg in the 2019–20 Champions League group stage, he scored eight goals in his first six Champions League matches – setting a record for a teenager in that competition. He was 19.
At Borussia Dortmund between 2020 and 2022, he scored 86 goals in 89 appearances across all competitions. His rate of return – essentially a goal per game across two full seasons at one of Europe’s major clubs – drew the attention of every significant club in European football.
At Manchester City in 2022–23, his debut Premier League season: 36 league goals in 35 appearances, plus 12 Champions League goals as City won the treble. The Premier League record-breaking tally exceeded Alan Shearer’s 34 goals set with Blackburn in 1995–96 and Andy Cole’s 34 set with Newcastle in 1993–94 – records that had stood for over 25 years. He was 22 years old and had been at the club for one season.
He wears the number 9. He celebrates goals with a sitting yoga meditation pose – cross-legged on the pitch, eyes closed, hands on knees – a gesture he began at Salzburg and has maintained throughout his career. It is one of the most recognizable celebration images in modern football.
How to Color These Pages Well
Manchester City’s sky blue is very specific. It is not baby blue, not royal blue, not teal, and not the navy that many blue-heavy kits trend toward. It is a medium, slightly warm aqua-blue – Pantone 291 C is the closest official reference. When selecting a colored pencil or marker, you want something that reads as immediately, unmistakably “sky blue” – lighter and more vivid than standard blue, but not so pale it reads as grey. City fans will notice if it’s wrong. Get it right, and the jersey is immediately recognizable.
The Norway red for the national team pages. Norwegian national team red is a bright, warm, slightly vivid red – not as dark as burgundy, not as orange-tinted as some national team reds. It reads as a clean, strong red with white accents. The contrast between the sky blue Club pages and the red Norway pages, when displayed side by side, is striking – which is exactly why collecting and coloring both is worth the time.
For the portrait pages, Haaland’s coloring is specific. Light blonde hair – warm, medium-to-light in tone. The hair is often tied back in a bun or pulled away from the face, which changes the silhouette significantly. Pale northern European skin tone with warm undertones rather than cool. Eyes are light blue. The combination of these light tones makes him stand out visually against dark backgrounds – if your page has a background element, making it darker creates natural contrast that makes the figure pop.
The chibi pages want full, flat color. Chibi illustrations are not the place for shading or gradient work. Bold, flat application of the same sky blue, white, and yellow-blonde hair creates the most successful chibi result. The charm is in the simplicity – fight the urge to add complexity to these pages.
Number 9. If the jersey illustration shows a number, it is 9. The Premier League standard for number placement is the center back of the jersey in a specific number font. When coloring the back of the jersey pages, keep the white number clean and crisp against the sky blue background – the contrast is the whole point.
5 Creative Craft Ideas
Match Day Poster
Print the best full-figure Manchester City page at maximum size. Color carefully – sky blue jersey, white shorts, correct skin and hair tones. Mount the finished figure on a piece of black or dark navy poster board, leaving a border of approximately 5cm all around.
Add handwritten or stenciled text: “HAALAND” in large letters at the top, “#9” in the lower corner, and a goal tally or match reference below if you want to commemorate a specific performance. The black background against the sky blue figure creates a clean, poster-quality display that works on any football fan’s bedroom wall. Frame it in a simple black frame, and it looks like intentional sports art.
This is the most straightforward and most satisfying craft in the set. A well-colored Haaland figure on a dark background, framed, holds up at wall scale.
Football Birthday Card
Print two or three pages – a full figure page and a portrait page work well together. Color the full figure in Manchester City sky blue. Color the portrait separately. Fold a piece of A5 cardstock for the card base.
Cut out the full figure and mount it on the front of the card, slightly angled to suggest movement. Add the portrait cut-out as a secondary element in the lower corner. Write the birthday message inside in sky blue marker. Add a “9” or the recipient’s own shirt number in the corner if they play football.
The card works for any child who supports Manchester City or follows Haaland personally. It takes about thirty minutes to make and communicates a level of specific personal knowledge that bought cards cannot match.
Norway vs City Two-Jersey Comparison
Print one Manchester City page and one Norway national team page. Color both carefully and accurately – sky blue on one, Norway red on the other. Mount them side by side on a single sheet of white cardstock, with a thin black line down the center separating the two.
Add text labels below each figure: “Manchester City” and “Norway National Team” with the respective color swatches noted. The finished piece functions as a football knowledge display – showing the same player in two different contexts, two different color systems, two different stories. For children learning about international football and club football simultaneously, this visual comparison is genuinely educational.
Goal Record Tracker
This craft extends beyond the coloring page itself. Print a Haaland action figure page – the professional soccer player or action pose pages work best. Color the figure carefully. Cut it out and mount it on a large sheet of grid-lined paper, or draw a goal tally chart alongside the mounted figure.
Create a running goal record: Premier League goals per season, Champions League goals, and Norway national team goals. Fill in the chart in the same sky blue as the jersey. Add the record-breaking totals in a contrasting color – the 36 Premier League goals in 2022–23, the 9 goals in one World Cup match, the 8 Champions League goals as a teenager. Leave space to update the chart as future seasons add to the record.
The finished tracker works as both art and reference material – a fan display that demonstrates real knowledge of the player’s career statistics alongside the coloring artwork.
Fantasy XI Team Poster
This craft uses the Haaland pages alongside coloring pages of other players from this site – Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and others. Print one page per player. Color each in their most recognizable kit. Cut out the figures.
Arrange them on a large piece of green poster board in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation layout – goalkeeper at the bottom, defenders above, midfielders, then the forward line with Haaland as the center striker at the top. Glue each figure in position. Add the player name below each figure in black marker. Write “FANTASY WORLD XI” across the top in bold lettering.
The finished poster is a creative football literacy exercise – it requires knowing which positions the players occupy, which formation makes sense, and how to arrange a team coherently. The coloring component makes it tactile and personal. For football-obsessed children, this is the most absorbing project in the set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where was Erling Haaland born, and where did he grow up? Haaland was born on July 21, 2000, in Leeds, England, where his father, Alfie Haaland, was playing professionally at the time. He grew up in Bryne, a small town in Rogaland county in southwestern Norway, and represents Norway at the international level. Despite his English birthplace, he has exclusively represented Norway throughout his international career, from youth levels through the senior national team.
How many Premier League goals did Haaland score in his debut season? Haaland scored 36 Premier League goals in 35 appearances in his debut season with Manchester City in 2022–23 – breaking the previous single-season record of 34 goals, which had been set independently by Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers, 1995–96) and Andy Cole (Newcastle United, 1993–94). Those records had stood for over 25 years. He was 22 years old. He also won the Premier League Golden Boot by a significant margin that season, and Manchester City won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League – the treble.
Is the claim that Haaland scored 9 goals in one match true? Yes. On May 30, 2019, playing for Norway in the FIFA U-20 World Cup group stage against Honduras, Haaland scored nine goals as Norway won 12–0. The nine-goal performance in a single World Cup match remains a FIFA record across all age groups and competitions. He was 18 years old. It was the performance that announced him to global football at scale for the first time.
What clubs has Haaland played for? His professional career has moved through four clubs: Molde FK in Norway (2017–2019), Red Bull Salzburg in Austria (2019–2020), Borussia Dortmund in Germany (2020–2022), and Manchester City in England (2022–present). At each club, his scoring rate was exceptional – at Dortmund, he scored 86 goals in 89 appearances across all competitions before signing for City.
Why does Haaland have a connection to Manchester City beyond just his current club? His father, Alfie Haaland, played for Manchester City between 2000 and 2003. Alfie’s career at City ended prematurely due to a serious knee injury sustained in April 2002. The injury became one of the most discussed episodes in Premier League history and was referenced publicly in the years that followed. When Erling signed for Manchester City in 2022, it created a notable family connection to the club that the English football media covered extensively. The connection between Alfie’s time at City and Erling’s arrival added an additional layer to his debut season.
What is Haaland’s goal celebration? His signature celebration is a sitting meditation pose – he crosses his legs, sits on the pitch, closes his eyes, and holds his hands on his knees in a yoga-style meditative position. He began this celebration at Red Bull Salzburg and has maintained it throughout his career. It is one of the most recognizable and widely imitated goal celebrations in modern football. He has occasionally explained the celebration as connected to mindfulness and focus routines that are part of his broader approach to performance.
What kit colors should I use for the Manchester City pages? Manchester City’s home kit uses a distinctive sky blue – medium in tone, slightly warm, clearly different from both navy blue and pale baby blue. White shorts and white socks with a sky blue trim complete the home kit. The away kit varies by season but has included white, dark navy, and other colors. For these coloring pages, sky blue, white, and the black of the number 9 are the three colors that make the City pages immediately identifiable. The club’s official color name is “Manchester Blue.”
Are these pages suitable for young children? Yes, fully. Unlike the Beavis and Butt-Head or Hazbin Hotel pages on this site, which are adult content, the Erling Haaland pages are completely appropriate for children of all ages. The chibi and cartoon versions are ideal for younger children ages 3–6 who respond to simplified, expressive character styles. The portrait pages and action figure pages work well from ages 5–6 upward. The full figure Manchester City and Norway kit pages reward the patience and fine motor control that develops from around ages 7–8. Any football fan, regardless of age, will find something in this collection.
