From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings26 Jun 2028

Filip Thorvaldsen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Aaron Kiil Olsen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Valerenga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Jun 2028

The manager makes an example of Brice Ambina

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match24 Jun 2028

Stabaek take the points off Valerenga

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Petter Strand falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch26 Jun 2028

Taha Usman counts the days

“I watch every Valerenga game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at OB runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings26 Jun 2028

Lucas Ravn-Haren turns it into his own net

Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. Valerenga deserved better, and so did he.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Oscar Hedvall has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Valerenga will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market26 Jun 2028

The Henrik Bjørdal talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Valerenga know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad11 Oct 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Amir Jama

71 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Valerenga lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Omar Bully keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Valerenga may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match9 Oct 2027

4 matches without a win for Valerenga

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Valerenga are no longer polite ones.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Words at Valerenga training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brice Ambina is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Tempers go at Valerenga

Mateo Peralta was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings11 Oct 2027

One of those days for Aaron Kiil Olsen

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.39, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Loan watch11 Oct 2027

Mathias Lien counts the days

“I watch every Valerenga game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Sarpsborg 08 runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match9 Oct 2027

Aaron Kiil Olsen rescues a point for Valerenga

It needed Aaron Kiil Olsen to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Stabaek, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings11 Oct 2027

A day to forget for Carl Lange

Marked 5.04, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad26 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Vegar Eggen Hedenstad out for 94 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Valerenga will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Omar Bully says Valerenga went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Alex Pritchard in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Valerenga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch26 Oct 2026

Taha Usman has seen enough of IK Start

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Valerenga, and 3 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Sebastian Jarl gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Carl Lange takes the honours

Marked 7.19 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Valerenga had the best player on the pitch.

Match24 Oct 2026

Honours even between Valerenga and Molde

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The terraces26 Oct 2026

The spotlight tightens on Mohamed Ofkir

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Market26 Oct 2026

Henrik Bjørdal linked with a move away

The name of Henrik Bjørdal keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Valerenga say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad19 Oct 2026

Vegar Eggen Hedenstad breaks a bone — 102 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 102 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match19 Oct 2026

Valerenga sink to position 14

12 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Valerenga

Alex Král was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Lucas Ravn-Haren runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The manager makes an example of Oscar Hedvall

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match17 Oct 2026

Valerenga come up short against Rosenborg

Rosenborg left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Magnus Sjøeng has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

An afternoon Ole Sæter will want back

Marked 5.33. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Off the pace: Omar Bully

A mark of 5.75 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

In brief
