Torden FK (often referred to as TFK) is a Norwegian club formed 01.03.2004. The club has won the Norwegian divison V three times and the division VI thirteen times. Their best achievement in the National Cup (Norgesmesterskapet) is reaching the forth round, as well as reaching the semi finals in the Norwegian Consolation Cup. Their best ever achievement in the league is an eight place in division IV.

TFK is located in the fictitious area of "Nyhøyden", just outside Kongsvinger, and is one of the oldest clubs in Hedmark still active. They play their home games at Nyhøyden Idrettspark (80 106), only about a kilometer away from their rivals at Nyhøyden Atletiske Sportsklubb.

History

The club was established 01.03.2004 by ht user Maggs. He made it a workers-club with special ties to the north part of Nyhøyden. However, the clubs name was Magnusia in the very first season, before changing to todays name.

The first years (season 11-19)

TFK (season 17) The first years and seasons were characterized by a lot of activity and commitment in the club. The team first saves a place in division V in season 11 and 12, before they beeing relegated to division VI in season 13, only one point away from a safe place. In season 14, the club almost makes a clean slate, and goes through the entire season with thirteen wins, one draw and a goal difference of 76-11. As a result, they are back in divison V in what will turn out to be a fantastic season and a third place. Players such as Arno Bodineau, Patrycjusz Dobrosz, Ionut Ungureanu, Gunnar Erik Høj Pedersen and Steinar Berntsen are particularly remembered from this team. In seasons 16, 17 and 18, the club is at the top of their division, but in season 19 they finish in sixth place and have to play a qualifying match, which they loose. Again, the club has to contend with relegation to division VI.

Relegations & promotions (season 20-33)

Rune "Lynet" Nilsen scores again The years 2007 to 2011 turnes out to be a roller-coaster period. The club needed six seasons before they were finally back in the division V, but were unable to survive and the next season saw them back at the bottom level once again. In season 28, they were back again at level five, only lasting for two seasons before dropping down a division again. The biggest triumph in this period was the advancement to the fourth round in the Norwegian Cup (season 23). Going this far had never been achieved in the club's 9-year history. Worth mentioning from this period were players such as Rune "Lynet" Nilsen and Kenneth Solberg, who scored a total of over 500 goals together. The former is still the only player to have scored 6 goals in one and the same match. He achieved that twice.

Time of absence - Ten years in the valley of shadows (seasons 34-68)

The period from 2011 to 2021 must be seen as the club's absolute zero point. The club organized a few random training matches here and there, but particularly from 2013 there were minimal activity, and only one training match was organized during eight years(!). It says a lot about the lack of interest in this period. Fortunately, manager "Tordane" always remembered to log into hattrick regularly, making sure the team not beeing kicked out of the system. In the series, the team managed to stay in division V for a few seasons, before an eternal roller coaster again ensured promotion and relegation between the fifth and sixth level, almost every other season. Season 41, in particular, stands out as a disastrously bad season for TFK. The team finished last in their division with 1 point, and went a total of fourteen games without a win. Both share a club record in a negative sense.

A new time (season 69 -->

Dorus Bras lifts TFKs first ever international trophy (season 70) 21st of january 2022 will prove to be an important day for the club. After over ten years of inactivity, the manager returns. Almost NOK 200 million is waiting in the bank, and a long-term course is staked out for the club. The new team is being built up slowly but surely, with a focus on the 3-5-2 system and midfield strength. A new long-term goal is also set: A maximum of five seasons before the club is promoted to division IV for the first time. Almost every player are replaced, and the legend Mohammed "Brosjan" Roshan takes over as a manager. Around the middle of season 69, TFK are in last place, but gets their first points after a draw. After this, the club climbs from last place to third place. The following season, season 70, the team makes sure to win all the games and wins the division and are once again ready for the division V. In addition, the club wins its first ever international title, in a play-off with 64 teams from around the world. A huge moment for the club. Season 71 starts as expected. The club win some matches and looses some, but then towards the middle and especially towards the end of the season, TFK puts in a fierce final sprint that takes them from fourth place and into second place before one game remains. In the last round of the series, they climb to the top of the division and achieve their best season ever. Never before in history had they won division V. In season 72, the club once again wins the division, but once again looses the play-off. In the upcoming season, TFK ends on a second place, but then finally in season 73, a direct promotion to division IV is secured, after a tremendous season with fourteen out of fourteen wins and a total of 42 points. The goal of reaching division IV within five seasons is accomplished!
