Bilal Elmi Njie (born 13 June 1998) is a footballer who plays as a winger for Eliteserien club Odd. Born in Norway, he plays for the Somalia national team.
Njie began his career at Vålerenga, and made his first team debut on 30 September 2017 in a 4-2 loss vs. Stabæk Fotball, coming on as a late substitute.[1] He also made 20 appearances for the reserve team in the 2017 season.
Before the 2018 season, Njie signed a three-year contract with the Skien-based club Odd, instead of signing with his youth club Vålerenga.[2] According to Njie, he chose to sign with Odd because of their well-known ability to develop young players.
Njie signed for KFUM-Kameratene Oslo on 5 October 2020.[3] [4]
On 5 December 2021, in the promotion playoffs for a spot in the Eliteserien, Njie scored two goals in their quarterfinal win over Fredrikstad, including a stoppage time equalizer to send the match to penalty kicks.[5]
Bilal was born in Norway to a Gambian father and Somali mother, and was eligible for all three national teams.[6] He played for the Somalia national team in a set of friendlies in October 2023.[7]
Bilal is the younger brother of the footballer Moussa Njie.[8]
