Markus Solbakken (born 25 July 2000) is a Norwegian professional footballer, who plays as a midfielder for Czech First League club Sparta Prague, and the Norway national team.

Club career

[edit]

He is a son of Ståle Solbakken. While his father was a football player and later manager, mostly abroad,[2] the family settled in Hamar and Solbakken came through the youth ranks of Hamarkameratene. He made his senior debut in 2016 and was a prolific Norway youth international, making his debut for Norway U21 at the age of 18. In the 2020 1. divisjon he passed the mark of 100 league games for Hamkam.[3]

Ahead of the 2021 season he was bought by Stabæk.[4] He made his Eliteserien debut in May 2021 against Haugesund.[3] After Stabæk were relegated, Solbakken transferred to Viking in February 2022. He signed a four-year contract with the club.[5]

On 9 January 2024, Solbakken signed a contract with Czech First League club Sparta Prague.[6]

International career

[edit]

In August 2023, Solbakken received his first call-up to the Norway senior national team by his father and head coach Ståle Solbakken, for a friendly match against Jordan and a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia.[7] He debuted during the former match on 12 September, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute.[8]
