Team changes from 2000

2000 1. divisjon champions FK Lyn and runners-up Strømsgodset were promoted to the 2001 Tippeligaen.[1] They were replaced by Start and Haugesund, who finished 13th and 14th respectively in the 2000 Tippeligaen season.[2]

Due to the enlargement from 14 to 16 teams in 2001, only two teams, Strindheim and Eik-Tønsberg, were relegated to the 2001 2. divisjon following the 2000 season. They were replaced by 2000 2. divisjon play-off winners Mandalskameratene, Ørn-Horten, Hødd and Aalesund. Mandalskameratene made their first appearance at the second tier since 1952–53.[3]

One further spots were available through relegation/promotion play-offs. Sogndal successfully promoted to Tippeligaen by beating Tippeligaen side Vålerenga on away goals (3–3 on aggregate) in the Tippeligaen play-off, sending the team from Oslo to the second tier of Norwegian football.[4]

Season summary

Vålerenga and Start won promotion to Tippeligaen, after only one season in the First Division, while Ham-Kam lost the promotion-playoff against Bryne. Mandalskameratene, Kongsvinger, Kjelsås and Byåsen were relegated to the 2. divisjon.[5]

In the decisive match of the season, Ørn-Horten scored twice in the stoppage time in the match against Vålerenga. Ørn-Horten's goalkeeper Helge Fjeld scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time, and kept Ørn-Horten clear of relegation, at the expense of Mandalskameratene.[5][6]

Bala Garba and Marino Rahmberg became top goalscorers with 18 goals each.[7]
