Match26 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Odd

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match26 Sep 2026

8 matches without a goal for Odd

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 8 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match28 Sep 2026

Odd sink to position 14

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

Market28 Sep 2026

Zakaria Mugeese has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Odd they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Noah Sahsah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Josef Baccay 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 Odd this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both jobs done by Abduljeleel Abdulateef — 6.87

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.87, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Odd

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jacob Buus was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Josef Baccay knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Odd, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad17 Aug 2026

André Hansen is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with André Hansen: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match12 Aug 2026

Odd march on in the cup

Stromsgodset are out and Odd go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Abduljeleel Abdulateef, 20, steals the show — 7.94

Marked 7.94 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market17 Aug 2026

Noah Sahsah arrives at Odd in a $1.4M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Odd have paid $1.4M for Noah Sahsah, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Deadline passes with 19 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at Odd until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Too dear: Odd walk away from Sondre Brunstad Fet

$1.8M was the most the club would pay and Bodo/Glimt 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Sandefjord come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Odd did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Odd rebuffed over David Edvardsson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tromso have kept their man, and Odd go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Valerenga watching Justin Salmon

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Odd have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Abduljeleel Abdulateef, 20, steals the show — 7.75

Marked 7.75 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

André Hansen due for a Odd medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Josef Baccay signs for Tromso while still at Odd

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Josef Baccay has agreed terms with Tromso for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Filip Rønningen Jørgensen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Filip Rønningen Jørgensen and Odd agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Odd

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Josef Baccay was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Kreshnik Krasniqi will join Odd for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Kreshnik Krasniqi has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Odd have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Odd

Samuel Skree Skjeldal and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match1 Aug 2026

Abduljeleel Abdulateef sends Odd past Rosenborg

It finished 2‑1, and it was Abduljeleel Abdulateef’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Odd.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

One of their own: Hinrik Harðarson

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

In brief
