Market5 Oct 2026

Only the photograph left for Eirik Wichne

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Eirik Wichne will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sarpsborg 08 the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Sarpsborg 08 to lose Eirik Wichne for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Eirik Wichne has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Peter Reinhardsen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Peter Reinhardsen commits to Sarpsborg 08 for another 4 years.

Match3 Oct 2026

Whatever happens, Sarpsborg 08 do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Sarpsborg 08

Peter Reinhardsen 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 ratings5 Oct 2026

Noa Williams was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The terraces5 Oct 2026

Sarpsborg 08 supporters have found a favourite in Michael Opoku

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Michael Opoku has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match3 Oct 2026

Daniel Karlsbakk sends Sarpsborg 08 past IK Start

It finished 2‑0, and it was Daniel Karlsbakk’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sarpsborg 08.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Sarpsborg 08

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

Match16 Sep 2026

Sarpsborg 08 march on in the cup

Rosenborg are out and Sarpsborg 08 go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A brace, and Daniel Karlsbakk takes the afternoon — 8.89

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Daniel Karlsbakk provided it, and the 8.89 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Sarpsborg 08

Mamour N'Diaye 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Sarpsborg 08 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aimar Sher 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.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

Sarpsborg 08 supporters have found a favourite in Daniel Karlsbakk

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Daniel Karlsbakk has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Noa Williams

Marked 8.04 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Sondre Sørli was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Daniel Karlsbakk has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sarpsborg 08 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Ridouan Essaeh 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.

Match12 Aug 2026

Sarpsborg 08 march on in the cup

Valerenga are out and Sarpsborg 08 go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Noa Williams runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both of them Daniel Karlsbakk's — 9.10

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.10, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market17 Aug 2026

Sarpsborg 08 say no — this time

The offer from Mjondalen for Aimar Sher was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

26 days out for Jesper Gregersen after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sarpsborg 08 will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Window shuts: 10 in, 2 out at Sarpsborg 08

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 10 arrived, 2 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Match15 Aug 2026

Sarpsborg 08 cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sarpsborg 08

Aimar Sher and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Francois Habineza gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Francois Habineza has just signed for Sarpsborg 08, and for once the answer mattered.
