The Sandefjord Sentinel
Squad17 Aug 2026
Elias Hadaya stands alone
9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Match12 Aug 2026
The small margins put Sandefjord out
Out, 0‑1 to Bodo/Glimt, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Sander Risan Mørk goes up and wins it — 7.33
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.33 for the rest of it.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Deadline passes with 7 signed and 1 gone
That is the business done at Sandefjord 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.
Match15 Aug 2026
4 matches without a win for Sandefjord
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Sandefjord are no longer polite ones.
Market17 Aug 2026
Sandefjord sign Filip Stensland for $150.0K
The paperwork is done: Filip Stensland joins from Skeid in a deal worth $150.0K. Now comes the harder part.
Match15 Aug 2026
Sandefjord come up short against Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Door shut on Birger Meling
Sandefjord asked and FC Copenhagen said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Elias Hadaya
“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.
