It seems incredible what spelling confusion can mean. In this case, the difference between writing Halland (name of the Norwegian striker for Manchester City, and Halland, a city in the Swedish province of Gothenburg. In an open letter to the ‘Football Channel’, Jimmy Sandberg, head of the tourism department of ‘Visit Halland’, said he was “fed up” with the success of the former Dortmund player.
Norwegian interest has increased worldwide and has had consequences for the tourist organization ‘Visit Halland’. On social networks, they talk about how the two names get confused and write “#halland” instead of “#haaland”.
Jimmy Sandberg noticed how social media feeds with the hashtag #halland were filled with pictures of Erling Haaland instead of typical tourist attractions in Halland such as Tylösand, Skrea strand, in Falkenberg, or the open-air theater in Vallarnas.
In his open letter on ‘Linkedin’, Sandberg said: “We have found that there is enormous confusion about the spelling of Haaland’s name, which has caused thousands of journalists and tourists to call him Haaland in publications. But we are Halland and he is Haaland”, wrote sadly.
After he moved to the City, he appeared everywhere. With every image search, every hashtag. “What the hell! Aren’t we Halland? Well, a lot of people spell it wrong. Then we said we can do something fun with it. It’s not really a problem, but it could be one if he scores even more goal. good, but we’re kind of drowning in its success,” he wrote. “The funniest thing is for Haaland to go to Halland, but maybe that’s too much to ask,” he added.
