Noah Donovan Sahsah (born 8 July 2005) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for as a winger for Eliteserien club Rosenborg. [1]
Having been part of Copenhagen youth system since he was six years old, Noah Sahsah made his professional debut for the FCK first team on 17 March 2022. He replaced Roony Bardghji at the 75th minute of the return Conference League round of 16 game against PSV Eindhoven, a home loss that would see the club eliminated from the competition. [2] [3] [4]
On 3 October 2023, while playing for Copenhagen's under-19 side in the UEFA Youth League, Sahsah suffered a torn cruciate ligament while celebrating his second goal in a 3–2 win over Bayern Munich U19. The injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. [5] [6]
On 6 August 2024, Sahsah joined Norwegian Eliteserien club Rosenborg on loan from Copenhagen, with the move aimed at restoring his match fitness after a knee injury. [7] He featured in seven league games during the remainder of the season, scoring his first goal on 28 October 2024 in a match against Bodø/Glimt. [8]
On 3 December 2024, Rosenborg exercised the purchase option included in the loan agreement, making the transfer permanent. He signed a deal until the end of 2028. [9] According to Tipsbladet , Copenhagen retained both a buy-back option and a 25% sell-on clause in any future transfer. [10] Sporting director Sune Smith-Nielsen praised Sahsah's recovery from injury and noted that a return to Parken in future remained possible, while Sahsah himself described leaving as "emotional" but expressed gratitude to the club for supporting his development. [11]
In February 2025, Sahsah sustained a serious knee injury during a friendly against Ranheim, collapsing in pain and leaving the pitch by ambulance. [12] He later told Norwegian newspaper Adresseavisen that the injury was related to his kneecap rather than a torn cruciate ligament, and expressed hope for a quicker recovery than the year-long layoff he had previously experienced at Copenhagen. [13] Following surgery he spent time in Denmark with his family before returning to Trondheim for rehabilitation. [14]
Born in Denmark, Sahsah is of Moroccan descent. [15] He is a youth international with Denmark, [16] taking part in the Euro U17 with his selection in 2022. [17] [18]
