The Tromso Herald
Match22 Aug 2026
Tromso strike at the death to beat IK Start
There were 85 minutes on the clock and IK Start had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Tromso did not stop to explain themselves.
Market24 Aug 2026
Tromso turn down Viking for Daniel Braut
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Too dear: Tromso walk away from Anders Hiim
$1.4M was the most the club would pay and Sarpsborg 08 were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Tromso go back to the board over Marcus Melchior
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $389.4K — a club that wants Marcus Melchior enough to be asked twice.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
The crowd has taken to Sander Innvær
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match22 Aug 2026
Tromso get the job done against IK Start
A 1‑0 win over IK Start, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Leon Hien
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Leon Hien, and the manager let it.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Vegard Erlien was the difference for Tromso
Marked 7.76. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
Squad24 Aug 2026
14 new faces, and Tromso are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
In brief
- Squad A falling-out at Tromso
- The dugout Sondre Rossbach dropped after a run of poor form
- Squad Fredrik Singh signs a new deal
