Stian Kristiansen (born 6 January 1999) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sandefjord in Eliteserien.
He moved to Bodø to take higher education, which also entailed a transfer to IK Junkeren,[1] though the 2020 season of the lower leagues was cancelled.
[3] In August, a bid from Åsane was accepted, and then another from Ranheim, with Kristiansen being close to finalizing a transfer to the second tier.
[5] His unassuming career before suddenly making the leap from the third tier to a club in European competition was described as "the beauty of football".
[9] He made national headlines when scoring Sandefjord's 2–1 goal in the 3–1 victory over Bodø/Glimt's assumed title contenders, Molde.
