About SK Haugar

SK Haugar is a Norwegian football club from the city of Haugesund and is one of the traditional sports clubs in the region. It was founded in 1939 and has long been part of the local football environment in western Norway. The club is known for its blue-and-white colours and plays home matches at Sakkestad Idrettspark. SK Haugar has mainly functioned as a community-based club, focusing on both youth and senior football development.

The club’s most notable sporting achievements came in the 1960s and 1970s, when it reached the Norwegian Cup final twice. Haugar lost the 1961 final heavily to Fredrikstad and also reached the 1979 final, where it was defeated by Viking. Despite these losses, the cup runs are considered historic highlights for the club, as they marked its strongest period at national level. The 1979 cup run also led to participation in European competition the following season.

In modern football, SK Haugar no longer competes at the highest level and mainly plays in the lower divisions of Norwegian football. In 1993, its elite team was merged with Djerv 1919 to form FK Haugesund, which became the main professional club in the city. SK Haugar continues to exist today as a grassroots and development club, maintaining its identity and focusing on local football activity in Haugesund.
