He's probably referring to an annual sports gala in Norway where all kinds of awards are given to people who have impressed in some way related to sports. Magnus won the "people's prize" in 2014 but wasn't even nominated this year, possibly due to a controversy surrounding his chess club. There has been some writings in newspapers about it, most people think it's outrageous that he wasn't even considered for his performance in what may have been his best year ever.

Carlsen also follows the Premier League and plays fantasy football. In December 2019, he reached the No. 1 spot on the Fantasy Premier League game, ahead of seven million other players".
