Vålerenga Chairman Resigns After Bjørdal Sale

Vålerenga chairman Søren Eriksen resigned immediately following a board meeting regarding Henrik Bjørdal's transfer to Viking, stating he lacked necessary support for recent decisions. Eriksen explained that despite acting in the club's best financial interest, he could not continue without the necessary backing.

Nestleder Ine Hope Karlsen has taken over the leadership role. The sale of Bjørdal to Champions League-bound Viking caused significant backlash within the fanbase, though the board approved the move to secure liquidity for next season. Additionally, club sports director Joacim Jonsson announced he will leave after the current season. xsportfeed.life
