Brumunddal Fotball is the football section of the Norwegian alliance sports club Brumunddal IL, located in Brumunddal, Hedmark. The organizational independency of the football section dates from 2003, although its parent club was founded in 1895. The men's football team currently plays in the 3. divisjon, the fourth tier of Norwegian football.
History
The team played in the Third Division, but after being relegated in 1995 it languished in the Fourth Division. Its return to the Third Division in 1998 also became short-lived. The team then had a longer stint from 2001 to 2004, when Strømmen IF was beaten in the playoffs, securing promotion to the 2005 Norwegian Second Division. The team had lost similar playoffs in 2003 and 2002. Brumunddal was instantly relegated to the Third Division again, but won the 2009 playoffs and has since played in the Second Division again.
Its most notable player was Vemund Brekke Skard, who transferred from Brumunddal to Ipswich Town in 2005. Vegard Skogheim has coached the team. Also, Eldar Hadžimehmedović plays for the team who once scored six goals in only one UEFA Cup match for Lyn.
De club heeft een lange geschiedenis en heeft meerdere successen behaald. Zo won Brumunddal Fotball in 1962 de Noorse beker en in 1985 de 2. divisjon. In 1986 promoveerde de club naar de 1. divisjon, maar degradeerde na één seizoen weer terug.
In de recente jaren is Brumunddal Fotball een vaste waarde in de 2. divisjon. De club eindigde in 2019 op de tweede plaats, maar promoveerde niet naar de 1. divisjon. In 2020 eindigde Brumunddal Fotball op de vijfde plaats.
