Foundation and cup era (1904–1921)
Frigg was founded on 17 May 1904 as Sportsklubben Frigg. The club was named after Frigg, a goddess in Norse mythology, and originated in the Bislett, Fagerborg and Marienlyst neighbourhoods of Oslo. The club achieved its first period of national prominence during the 1910s and early 1920s. Between 1914 and 1921, Frigg reached five Norwegian Cup finals, winning three. The club defeated Gjøvik-Lyn 4–2 in 1914 and Ørn 2–0 in 1916, before losing successive finals to Odd in 1919 and Ørn in 1920. Frigg won its third cup title with a 2–0 victory over Odd in 1921. Einar Hansen and Trygve Smith appeared in all three of Frigg's cup-winning teams.
National league and post-war rise (1922–1964)
Frigg later became a regular participant in the national league system. The club played 15 seasons in the top tier between the introduction of the national championship structure in the late 1930s and its final top-flight season in 1973. In 1954, Frigg merged with Sportsklubben Varg. The club adopted its present name, Frigg Oslo Fotballklubb, in 1990. The men's team re-established itself in the top division during the early 1960s, finishing fourth in both 1962 and 1964. Former Frigg player Per Pettersen later recalled that the team was known as Stjernelaget ("the Star Team"). According to Pettersen, the club was able to recruit several accomplished players who moved to Oslo for employment or education during the period.
