Football Superstar Haaland NFT Sells for $1 Million in Online Auction

Global fantasy football platform Sorare just landed its biggest ever NFT sale, with the Norwegian football superstar Erling Haaland NFT selling for just over A$1 million (265 ETH).
Fanatic YouTubers followed the auction live on-stream and were both excited and shocked when the auction price just kept going up and up. The eventual winner was Zima Blue, who outbid two rivals willing to bid half a million dollars for the Haaland Unique NFT.
The record was previously held by the Kylian Mbappe NFT, which sold for 116 ETH in late 2021. The Haaland card smashed through the French footballer’s price to more than double the record.
