The men's football team plays in 2. divisjon, the third level in Norwegian football. Their home games are played at Tromsdalen Stadion, which seats 3,000 spectators. Their colors are red and blue.

Football edit

The team was promoted to the 1. divisjon in 2003, but was relegated after one season. The club was reintroduced to the second highest flight of Norwegian football, which in the meantime had changed its name to Adeccoligaen, in 2005. After a poor start to the 2006 season, Tromsdalen was in the relegation zone for most of the season. But a very good ending of the season, beating many top clubs, Tromsdalen survived the drop and played in 1. divisjon in the 2007 season as well. However, they were relegated to 2. divisjon in 2007. The stay there wasn't long; Tromsdalen finished champion in Fourth Group of 2. divisjon in 2008 and returned to 1. divisjon for the 2009 season. After two seasons in 1. divisjon, Tromsdalen was relegated to the 2. divisjon.

In 2011, Tromsdalen scored 105 goals in the 2. divisjon, which is a Norwegian record,[1] and again won promotion to the second tier.

In 2007 Tromsdalen's women's team played in the women's first division.

In the 2019 season, Tromsdalen has to play their home games at Alfheim Stadion because their floodlights were not approved by the Football Association of Norway.[2]
