Odd Grenland will get a chance to qualify for the Europa League through the UEFA Fair Play Competition. Rosenborg won the domestic competition, but as they are already qualified for the Champeons League, Odd Grenland will be given the chance.
Many will find this surprising, as Odd has been in the headlines this season after a couple of interesting situations:
However, the reason why Odd still scores high is beacause both of these incidents happened in the cup and not in the league, and do therefore not affect the fair play score.
Here is the complete list:
1. Rosenborg (8,12)
2. Odd Grenland (7,97)
3. Molde (7,96)
4. Stabæk (7,93)
4. Vålerenga (7,93)
6. Tromsø (7,92)
7. Strømsgodset (7,84)
8. Bodø/Glimt (7,82)
9. Brann (7,79)
10. Fredrikstad (7,77)
11. Start (7,73)
12. Aalesund (7,72)
13. Lillestrøm (7, 70)
14. Sandefjord (7,63)
15. Viking (7,59)
16. Lyn (7,53)

17 clubs in danger of losing their licence.
(Nettavisen.no)
Monday The Licence Committee revealed during a press conference at Ullevaal Stadium(the arena that FC Lyn once owned and now can't even afford to rent.) that a total of 17 clubs in Tippeligaen (5), Adeccoligaen (10) and Toppserien Women (2) has received conditional license and is in danger of losing this if they are not able to show positive equity by the end of the year.
Lyn, Tromsø, Strømsgodset, Start and Stabæk are some of the clubs that are in danger of losing their license and thus be denied to play football at a top level in 2010.
The new licence settlement, which will help the clubs out of the ditch, requires, like the old system positive equity.
It's previously been estimated that the 16 teams in Tippeligaen in total runs against a deficit of 150 million kroner(£15 million) in 2009.
This is the first time the Norwegian Football Association uses the new rules for club licenses for Tippeligaen, Adeccoligaen and Toppserien Women. The clubs will keep the licenses that are now handed out, until the licence committee pulls it back or to the club is relegated from Adeccoligaen or Toppserien Women.
The central change in the licensing system is that the clubs now are divided into three categories based on their economic. Category 1 is the worst.
In Tippeligaen Strømsgodset, Start, Stabæk and Tromsø are all placed in category 1, and must now draw up an action plan that the Licence Committee must accept.
Clubs that do not follow their action plan risk facing sanctions. The teams can be punished with a warning, fees of up to 250,000kr per license criteria violation or an eight points deduction per violation. The License Committee will also be able to impose restrictions on the clubs player purchases and contract signings.
These are the 17 clubs that have to document positive equity before the 31st of December 2009 in order to be given a licence:
Tromsø
Strømsgodset
Start
Stabæk (Men and women)
Lyn
Stavanger
Løv-Ham
Sarpsborg
Moss
Kongsvinger
Ham-Kam
Notodden
Hønefoss
Skeid
Haugesund
Amazon Grimstad (Women)
Trondheims Ørn (Women)

Kongsvinger promoted
Kongsvinger - Sarpsborg: 3-1 (5-4 on aggregate)
Kongsvinger will play in Tippeligaen next year after their win over Sarpsborg yesterday.
The other promoted teams are Haugesund and Hønefoss.
Raymond Kvisvik signs for Kvik Halden in Norwegian 4th division(!).
Raymond Kvisvik (born 8 November 1974) is a Norwegian football player. With background from teams in hometown Sarpsborg, he currently plays for Fredrikstad just a few kilometers from his hometown, as a midfielder. He moved there due to family reasons, from Brann, where he was the star of the team. He has also played in Austria for Austria Wien. Kvisvik is notorious for his precise shots, assists and long balls with his left foot. He has 7 caps for the Norwegian national team.[wikipedia.org]
After Fredrikstad's relegation from Tippeligaen Kvisvik has now decided that he wants to help in Kvik Haldens attempt for promotion. He'll have a yearly income of 700,000NOK (aprox: £100,000), the best paid 4th division player by far.

Team of the year in Eliteserien
Jon Knudsen - Stabæk
Not the most spectacular keeper, but is always focused and makes the right decisions.
Mikael Lustig - Rosenborg
A really attacking rightback. Scored five goals, had several assists.
Kris Stadsgaard - Rosenborg
Vadim Demidov - Rosenborg
(all three of Rosenborg's central backs have been excellent this season, and Alejandro Lago, could also have had a place on this team.)
Knut Olav Rindarøy - Molde
A quick leftback with excellent crosses.
Pontus Farnerud - Stabæk
Great passes, and he always knows what to do with the ball.
Anthony Annan - Rosenborg
Probably Rosenborg's most important player, great defensive abilities, works really hard through the whole match.
Makhtar Thioune - Molde
Player of the year. Great passing, vision and work rate.
Erik Huseklepp - Brann
Who can forget this goal? Has played great on the wing through the whole season, and might be ready for a bigger league now.
Rade Prica - Rosenborg
Top scorer in Tippeligaen.
Mame Biram Diouf - Molde/Manchester United
Bought by the English club this summer, but stayed in Molde on loan. Gets into dangerous positions and many goal scoring opportunities, however he could score even more goals if he just manages to keep his head cold.

We are back
The season is over, but NFB is finally back to bring you the transfers and pre-season information, but first: Let's take a look back:
Best goal of the season:
Mads Hansen's Maradona Raid in the 2. division match between Mjøndalen and Hønefoss:
12 best Norwegian goals:
Cup winner:
Aalesund came back twice in the final against Molde, even though they played with just 10 men after Fredrik Carlsen was sent off in the 51st minute. The final result was 2-2, and it came to a penalty shoot out, where Aalesund won after Lindegaard saved Jose Mota's penalty.
(Both of Molde's goals were scored by Manchester United player Mame Biram Diouf)
League winner:
Rosenborg won the league at the stadium of their biggest rivals, Molde.
And lost only one game during the whole season. Coach Erik Hamren will coach both Rosenborg and the Swedish National team until Rosenborg has found a new coach for the team. Åge Hareide, Trond Sollied and Stabæk coach Jan Jönson are among the candidates.
Player of the year in the Norwegian league:
Molde's Makthar Thioune. A light version og Xabi Alonso and Deco, has been involved in almost everything Molde has done on the pitch this year.
Norwegian player of the year:
Fulham's Brede Hangeland. One of the best central defenders in the Premier League.
Final score in Eliteserien:
Fredrikstad lost their qualifier against Sarpsborg, and will play in the Adecco league next year, together with Lyn and Bodø/Glimt.
