It’s not really clear why Nugroho Budi Wiryanto earned the nickname the Tiger in every military operation. However, the 1987 Military Academy graduate then led the Siliwangi Military Command which has the Maung alias Tiger logo in 2019-2021. He retired after serving as Deputy Inspector General of the Indonesian Army (AD), August 2021-March 2022.

Storhamar won its eighth NM title

Eirik Salsten became the hero when he scored the winning goal 50 seconds into “sudden death”. Thus, Storhamar’s eighth King’s Cup is in the works. Vålerenga is still the leader in Norway with its 26 “buckets”.

The NM title probably tasted very good to Storhamar’s great veteran and captain Patrick Thoresen. He celebrated 400 games for the yellow and blue with his second NM gold, but the first proper one. As a 16-year-old, he was part of the team that won the NM gold in 2000, but during the final itself he was busy with the U18 WC.
