Tromsø were inconsistent across the league season and finished 13th in the Eliteserien – avoiding the relegation play-off on goal difference. They fared slightly better in the Norwegian Football Cup as they reached the third round before losing to Vålerenga. Following a victory against KuPS of Finland in the second qualifying round for the UEFA Conference League, Tromsø were eliminated by Kilmarnock of Scotland.
Background
Tromsø IL had had a strong season in 2023. It was their third season in the Eliteserien after promotion in 2020[1] and the club finished third in the league to qualify for the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying stages.[2]
Season overview
Tromsø started the season with four consecutive defeats before recording a home win against Odd. In between that was a run to the third round of the 2024 Norwegian Football Cup in which they lost to Vålerenga after extra time.[3]
In the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, the club was drawn against KuPS of Finland. Goals from Lasse Nordås and Jens Hjertø-Dahl helped them to win both legs as they won 2–0 on aggregate.[4][5] They then faced Kilmarnock of Scotland in the third qualifying round but, despite leading the first leg 2–1 away from home through goals from Jakob Napoleon Romsaas, they drew the match and then lost 1–0 at home as they were eliminated 3–2 on aggregate.[6][7]
Throughout the rest of the year, their from remained inconsistent. They only twice managed to string together a run of three consecutive matches without defeat in the league and ended up finishing 13th with 33 points, avoiding a relegation play-off on goal difference.[3]
