'We are Halland. He is Haaland': Swedish province urges fans to stop mixing their name up with Man City's in-form superstar - whose rapid rise is 'completely suffocating' the region's tourism profile

A Swedish province has kindly asked fans to stop getting its name confused with Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland.

Halland, a province in Sweden with a population of more than 300,000, has seen its online presence take a major hit since the Norwegian's summer move to the Etihad, due to supporters misspelling Haaland on social media.

The hashtag #Halland is now sending users to content about the Manchester City forward rather than the province, which has majorly impacted its tourism profile.
