A bit of history:
Sandefjord Fotball is a Norwegian professional football club, founded on September 10, 1998. The club plays its home games at Komplett.no Arena, located in Sandefjord, Vestfold.
Reaching the 1st Division in 1999, the club made quick progress and soon settled as a strong competitor for promotion to the Norwegian Premier League. Finishing third in the 1st division both in 2002 and 2003 they qualified for play-off matches, but lost both times. The 2003 play-off was lost after some controversial decisions by referee Jonny Ditlefsen that all were in Sandefjords disfavor. In 2004 they finished fourth, but the 2005-season finally proved a success. Placing second, Sandefjord earned automatic promotion to the highest division, where they are currently playing.
The club performed surprisingly well in their first Tippeliga season, finishing 9th on the table and reaching the cup final. However, 2007 season was a disaster and they finished last and was relegated to Adeccoligaen.
