Sindre Walle Egeli (born 21 June 2006) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a forward for Danish side FC Nordsjælland and the Norway national team.

Club career

Born in Larvik, Egeli spent his youth career between the academies of Nanset IF and Sandefjord.[2] On his debut for Sandefjord 2, he scored all five goals in a 5–0 win against Teie in the 4. divisjon.[3] An unusually prolific striker at youth and reserve level, he was likened to fellow Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland.[4]

In February 2022, it was announced that Egeli would move to Denmark to join the academy of Danish Superliga side Nordsjælland.[5][6]

International career

Egeli has represented Norway at under-15 and under-16 level.[2] He continued his prolific club form for both national teams, scoring a six-minute hat-trick against Armenia in qualification for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[7]

Egeli debuted for the senior Norway national team on 6 September 2024 in a Nations League game against Kazakhstan at the Almaty Central Stadium. He substituted Antonio Nusa in the 84th minute of a scoreless draw.[8]

Personal life

Egeli is the younger brother of fellow professional footballer Vetle Walle Egeli.[9]
