The Sarpsborg 08 Courier
Squad24 Aug 2026
Mamour N'Diaye decides it from twelve yards
3 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.
Match19 Aug 2026
Sarpsborg 08 march on in the cup
Rosenborg are out and Sarpsborg 08 go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Aram Poya damages knee ligaments — 15 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sarpsborg 08 will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Both of them Daniel Karlsbakk's — 8.77

Match22 Aug 2026
Sarpsborg 08 get the job done against Sandefjord
A 3‑1 win over Sandefjord, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Door shut on Duarte Moreira
Sarpsborg 08 asked and Bryne said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
In brief
- The terraces The crowd has taken to Daniel Karlsbakk
- Match Daniel Karlsbakk answers Sandefjord immediately
