All statistics correct as of 14 August 2024.

The 2024 Norwegian First Division (referred to as OBOS-ligaen for sponsorship reasons) is a Norwegian second-tier football league season.

The season started on 1 April 2024 and is scheduled to end on 9 November 2024, not including play-off matches.[1]

2024 marked Lyn's return to the second tier following an absence since 2010, coinciding with Vålerenga being relegated from the first tier. The Oslo Derby between the two at Ullevaal stadion in April notably broke the attendance record for the First Division. The standing record was 17,284, a number that was surpassed by pre-match ticket sales already two weeks ahead of the match.[2] The final figure is disputed[a] with the figures of 24,003 and 25,103 both being used, in either case far exceeding the former record.[3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b c d As sections of Ullevaal were being renovated at the time the capacity was reduced for the Oslo Derby between Lyn and Vålerenga on 20 April. Lyn sponsor IT.no purchased 1100 unavailable tickets at the reduced price of 50 NOK per ticket to symbolically sell out the stadium.[3] Sources vary on whether these 1100 tickets are counted towards the total.[4][5]
  2. ^ Lyn played some home games at Nadderud and Ullevaal.
