CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > Norwegian Premier League

The Norwegian Premier League is the top tier in the Norwegian football league system. The majority of players are Scandinavian, but in recent years their has been an influx of talent from South America and Africa. Rosenborg have dominated the league since the turn of the century, but were briefly knocked off their perch by Vålerenga in 2005.

League Structure:

- Champions qualify for Champions League - must go through qualifying rounds
- The Norwegian Cup winners and the teams finishing 2nd-3rd qualify for the UEFA Cup
- Team finishing 12th competes in a relegation/promotion play off against the 3rd placed team from the Norwegian First Division
- Bottom 2 teams are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
