About Fyllingen Fotball

Fyllingen Fotball is a Norwegian football club from the Fyllingsdalen district of Bergen. The club was originally founded in 1946 as part of Fyllingen IL and later became a separate football section in the 1990s. It is known for its yellow shirts and blue shorts and has traditionally played its home matches at Varden Amfi. The club has long been an important part of local sports culture in Bergen’s western districts and built a strong community identity over time.

The club experienced its peak period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it reached the highest levels of Norwegian football. Fyllingen played in the top division in 1990, 1991, and 1993, and its greatest achievement came in 1990 when it reached the Norwegian Cup final, losing to Rosenborg. This era also included participation in European competition in the Cup Winners’ Cup, which gave the club international exposure despite its relatively small size.

After the mid-1990s, Fyllingen gradually dropped down the divisions and eventually merged with Løv-Ham in 2011 to form a new club, which later became FK Fyllingsdalen. Although the original professional team ceased to exist, the name and tradition have continued at lower levels and through revived local efforts. Today, Fyllingen remains remembered for its strong cup run, brief top-flight history, and important role in Bergen’s football development.
