Fredrikstad Fotballklubb (FFK)
Mad about football? Then you’ve come to the right place. Founded in 1903, Østfold’s most famous football team, FFK (Fredrikstad Fotballklubb), has had its ups and downs over the years, but it remains one of the most successful teams in Norway, with 9 league championship and 11 Norwegian cup wins to its name. Fredrikstad supporters flock to the new stadium, inaugurated in 2007 and housed in a former shipyard by the Glomma, every time FFK plays on home ground, and they paint the town red – literally. FFK colours were (oddly enough) officially given to the club by the Polish Football Association at their own request back in 1927, and have not changed since – the kit is white and red, after the Polish flag.
