Erling Haaland was one of the biggest stars of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, is attracting plenty of attention away from the pitch.

As Norway prepared for a blockbuster World Cup quarterfinal against England, Johansen has gone viral after sharing photos in an elegant summer dress that quickly spread across social media.

The post comes during an unforgettable tournament for both Haaland and Norway, with the Manchester City striker leading his nation on its deepest World Cup run in decades.

Isabel Haugseng Johansen's social media following continues to soar

Johansen has become one of the breakout personalities of this year's World Cup. Photos she recently shared wearing a stylish summer dress generated widespread attention online, with fans praising the effortless look as her popularity continues to skyrocket.

Her social media growth mirrored Norway's success on the field.

Johansen reportedly had just over 370,000 Instagram followers before the tournament began. During Norway's remarkable World Cup run, that number has surged past 1.3 million as soccer fans around the world have become more familiar with Haaland's longtime partner. She has frequently been seen supporting Norway throughout the tournament, becoming a familiar face in the stands as Haaland continues his historic scoring pace.

Erling Haaland has dominated the World Cup

While Johansen has been trending online, Haaland has been nearly unstoppable on the field. The Norwegian superstar entered the quarterfinals with seven goals in four World Cup matches, helping power Norway into one of the biggest games in the country's recent soccer history.

Before the tournament began, Haaland admitted the pressure of finally getting Norway back to the World Cup had weighed heavily on him.

"It was a lot of pressure. It is a lot of pressure now still," Haaland said. "To qualify for the World Cup is a really special thing. I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be amazing. Finally."

In the World Cup, he has delivered exactly what Norway hoped for, emerging as one of the leading contenders for the tournament's Golden Boot.

Norway embraces underdog role against England

Norway entered its quarterfinal clash against England as the underdog, but head coach Ståle Solbakken made it clear his team wasn't intimidated by the challenge. "England has more pressure than us, but we put more pressure on our performance," Solbakken said before the match. "When the game has started, I don't think the players think about the pressure. It's 11 vs. 11."

With Haaland leading the attack and Johansen cheering from the stands, Norway had one of the most memorable stretches in the nation's soccer history.

Despite the fairytale coming to an end, Haaland has cemented himself as one of the stars of the 2026 World Cup, while Johansen's viral summer dress photos have made her one of the tournament's most talked-about supporters away from the field.
