Rosenborg Ballklub is an association football club based in Trondheim, Norway.[1] It is Norway's most successful club,[2] having won the Norwegian Premier League 26 times and the Norwegian Football Cup 12 times. Although founded in 1917,[3] it was not permitted to play Football Association of Norway-sanctioned matches until 1928.[4] The club entered the cup for the first time in 1932, claiming its first title in 1960.[5] Rosenborg joined the top league in 1967 and won the league in the club's inaugural top tier season.[6] It has only spent one season outside the top tier since, which was in 1978.[7] Rosenborg has played 186 matches and 27 seasons in Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) tournaments,[8] starting with the 1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup.[9] Their only European trophy is the 2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup,[10] with the second-best performance being the quarter-finals of the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League.
The club's record win is 17–0 in a cup match against Buvik in 2003; the league record is 10–0 against Brann in 1996 and the Champions League record is 6–0 against Helsingborg in 2000. In the league, the team had a record 87–20 goal difference in 1997,[11] claimed a record 69 points in 2009[12] and went undefeated in 2010.[13] Rosenborg was relegated after the 1977 season having won just a single match. The record home attendance is 28,569 spectators at Lerkendal Stadion against Lillestrøm in 1985.[14]
Roar Strand, who played 21 seasons between 1989 and 2010,[15] has played 416 league matches, more than any other Rosenborg player.[16] He has also won the most titles with the club, having won the league 16 times and the cup 5 times.[17] With 151 league goals, Harald Martin Brattbakk is the club's all-time top scorer and was the league's top scorer during six seasons.[18] Sigurd Rushfeldt is the league's all-time top scorer, although he scored a majority of these for Tromsø.[19] Odd Iversen holds the record for most goals in a single match and season, with 6 and 30 respectively. The club received it highest transfer fee for John Carew; they received 75 million Norwegian krone when he was sold to Valencia in 2000.[20]
