Cup successes and founding member of the championship
The club was founded on May 17, 1904 under the name SK Frigg . Initially, the club only played friendly matches before organizing in the Oslo Association in 1908. Four years later, the team played in the top division before the club won its first title in 1914. In the national cup, the club decided the final against SK Gjøvik-Lyn with a 4-2 win. Two years later, the team repeated the success in which they defeated FK Ørn from Trondheim with a 2-0 victory. After two final defeats against Odd Grenland and FK Ørn in 1919 and 1920, respectively, the club won the club's third cup success in 1921 against Odd Grenland.
In the following years, SK Frigg could not build on the success of the first few years. In both the regional championship and the national cup, the team failed to establish itself in the front area. Only in the course of the 1930s did the club return to success. Especially in the cup, he made it to the decisive rounds, but remained without a title win.
When the Norges Fotballforbund established a national championship in 1937, SK Frigg was one of the 74 top division teams that played for the national championship title, divided into eight districts. The club placed itself in the middle of its season, before the occupation of Norway in World War II by the German Reich in 1940 led to the termination of the season and a subsequent suspension of the championship. When the league game operations resumed in 1947, the club was still first class, due to a reform at the end of the season - the number of first division seasons and thus the clubs was reduced to two and 16 respectively - the team was relegated to the second division as fifth in its district.
Between first and second league
After relegation, SK Frigg dominated his second division season, but missed direct promotion after a 1-1 draw and a 2-0 loss to Strømmen IF . With the creation of a new second division in the summer of 1952, the club qualified for this series and established itself there as a result. In April 1954, local rivals SK Varg joined the club, which from then on traded as Frigg Oslo FK .
With bundled forces, Frigg dominated his second division season and rose to the first-class Hoved series after only one season defeat . Despite some serious defeats - Fredrikstad FK and Sarpsborg FK each won 7-2 against the club - the team stayed in the top division after being promoted again. After three years of first class, there were three wins in the 1957/58 season , two of them against IL Sparta, the bottom of the table without a win during the season .
Behind Vålerenga IF , Frigg missed direct resurgence as second in the season, it was not until 1961 that the team returned to the top class as the season winner. There the newcomer surprised, who even led the championship for a short time after a 5-1 win against Odd Grenland on the first match day, and just missed participation in the 1962/63 European Cup as fourth in the table, one point behind the then leaders Fredrikstad FK . On this position in the table, the club finally ended the season and thus qualified for the top division, which was held under the name of 1. Divisjon , ten teams in a league.
Frigg settled in the first few years of the new division in the front midfield of the championship. Almost 45 years after the last cup triumph, the team reached the final of the national cup again in 1965, where the team met local rivals Skeid Oslo . In one of the longest finals in the history of the competition - at that time there was still no penalty shoot-out , so a replay was scheduled after unsuccessful overtime, the club only missed their fourth cup triumph after a 2-1 defeat in the third game. Although the league season in 1965 was not crowned with success and ended in the last non-relegation place, the team entered the European Cup for the first time the following year . In the Messestädte-Pokal 1966/67 she represented Oslo in the first round against Dunfermline Athletic , but was eliminated directly from the competition after two defeats. Since the team placed behind local rivals Skeid and Lyn Oslo in the following years , there was no further participation.
In the season 1968 Frigg was unsuccessful and ended the championship on a relegation zone. Also in the second division, the club struggled against relegation in the first year, but made it back to the 1st division the following year before Odd Grenland. the direct relegation was followed by the immediate relegation, but again the relegation failed.
In the lower league area
After relegation from the first division, Frigg placed in the middle of the table in his second division season. The club regularly had a clear gap to the promotion but also the relegation ranks. In the 1978 season, the team intervened in the promotion race, behind Rosenborg BK and Ham-Kam as third in the table, two points were missing from the relegation round to the first division. After a fourth place in the following year, the club slipped into the third division for the first time at the end of the 1980 season.
Frigg also played in his third division season, initially in the middle range, followed by relegation in 1983. Although the team played for direct resurgence, this did not take place until 1986. After a seventh place in the first season after promotion, they marched with 16 wins in 22 games in the 1988 season in the second division. Here, too, she placed fourth in the table and thus qualified for the new second division, which was held in two seasons after the introduction of the Tippeligaen as the top division. There, however, the level was too high and the club, together with Kristiansund FK and Umgebung, started again in the third division.
In the following years the club fluctuated between third and fourth division. After 20 wins in 22 games and subsequent successes in the promotion round, the club rose to the third division for the last time in 2009.
Bandy
The bandy department of Frigg was instrumental in organizing the sport in the Norwegian ice hockey and later in the independent bandy association. The team moved into the final for the national championship title several times, but regularly missed winning the title. Hired in 1964, the department was briefly reactivated between 1975 and 1977. In 1997 there was a renewed resumption of play, the team has been playing in the lower-class league since then.
