About Sandefjord BK

Sandefjord BK is a Norwegian football club from Sandefjord, founded in 1917. It is one of the traditional sports clubs in the region and has long been part of the local football culture. The club is known for its yellow and black colours and has historically played its home matches at Storstadion. Sandefjord BK has mainly functioned as a community-based club with a strong local identity and a focus on football development in the city.

The club’s strongest period came in the mid-20th century, when it competed regularly at the highest level of Norwegian football. Sandefjord BK played several seasons in the top division and achieved notable success in the Norwegian Cup, reaching the final twice in 1957 and 1959. Although it did not win the trophy, these cup runs marked the peak of the club’s sporting achievements and established it as a respected team in Norwegian football during that era.

In 1998, Sandefjord BK merged with another local club to form Sandefjord Fotball, which was created to establish a stronger elite team for the city. After this, Sandefjord BK continued to exist as a lower-division and development-focused club, maintaining its traditions and local role. Today, it is remembered mainly for its historical contribution to Sandefjord’s football identity and its important role in the development of the sport in the region.
