Fredrikstad FK has undergone significant economic development. The club has gone from being in severe financial trouble to reaching new heights.

What happened?

In 1996, Fredrikstad FK was facing major financial problems, and a business community effort was established in Fredrikstad. The idea was to find an economic instrument to save FFK and develop the club.

How was it done?

The club hired Knut Torbjørn Eggen in the fall of 2001, and it resulted in two direct promotions. Terje Høilie has been a major contributor as the main sponsor for many years.

What is the key to success?

Thinking and planning long-term. Being predictable and reliable - delivering what you promise. The success criteria in business also apply to football.
