SK Brann (previously known as IL Sandviken) is a Norwegian women's football team based in Bergen. The team plays in Norway's top league, Toppserien.[2]

History

[edit]

The team used to be part of IL Sandviken. Sandviken's women's team were a mainstay in Toppserien since its formation, and won it for the first time in 2021.[3] They also won the Norwegian Women's Cup in 1995.[4] The team was renamed SK Brann Kvinner ahead of the 2022 season as part of a merger process with Bergen's most popular football club, SK Brann.[5][6] In January 2023 they were fully merged with Brann, becoming the club's women's team.[7] In their first season as Brann, the team were crowned champions of both the 2022 Toppserien and the 2022 Norwegian Women's Cup.[8] Having previously played most of their games at the 1500-capacity Stemmemyren stadium, during the 2024 season the team moved permanently into Brann Stadion, with a capacity of 16 750. The team has by far the highest average attendance in Norwegian women's football. During the first half of the 2024 season average home attendance was 2404, while closest rivals Rosenborg and Vålerenga on average attracted 867 and 633 spectators respectively.
