Biography
Formation
Rosenborg Ballklub, commonly known as Rosenborg or RBK, was founded on May 19, 1917, by a group of 12 young men in the Rosenborg area of Trondheim, Norway. Initially named Sportsklubben Odd, the club struggled to gain entry into the regional series due to the dominance of larger teams. After several years of challenges, the club was finally admitted to the regional series in 1927. However, they faced another hurdle when they were blocked from joining the Football Association of Norway due to their name being shared with another club. This led to the adoption of the name Rosenborg Ballklub on October 26, 1928.
Early Years and Growth
In its early years, Rosenborg experienced limited success, fluctuating between lower divisions. However, by 1931, the club qualified for the highest level of Norwegian football and made its debut in the Norwegian Cup the following year. Over the decades, Rosenborg steadily improved, establishing itself as a formidable force in Norwegian football.
Dominance in Norwegian Football

They have also played more UEFA matches than any other Norwegian team, showcasing their prominence on the European stage. The club's home games are held at Lerkendal Stadion, which has a capacity of 21,421, further solidifying their status in Norwegian football history.
Legacy and Recognition
Rosenborg's contributions to football have been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Olavstatuetten, Trondheim Municipality Culture Award, Kniksen's Honorary Award, and the People sport prize. Their legacy continues to influence the sport in Norway, inspiring future generations of players and fans alike.

Career & Clubs
Early years (1917–1959)
On 19 May 1917, 12 young men from Rosenborg in Trondheim founded Sportsklubben Odd. The name Odd was a tribute to Odd of Skien, the most successful team in Norway at the time. Odd spent their first few years playing against other local teams before attempting to join the regional series in 1920. As with most of the "buddy" clubs formed at the time, they were repeatedly denied access. Since many of these players also played for the bigger teams, the authorities feared a possible shortage of players if too many small clubs were let in. As the years went by, disillusioned players began leaving the club, and in 1923 the first team played only a single match. By 1926, management of the club had passed on to a new generation of members, and it was through their efforts that Odd were finally admitted into the regional series in 1927, ten years after the club was founded. A year later they were set for entry into the Football Association of Norway, but their entry was blocked as the association refused to have two member clubs with the same name. The club therefore took on its current name, Rosenborg Ballklub, on 26 October 1928. Rosenborg is a mainly residential area in Trondheim. Rosenborg enjoyed little success at first, moving constantly between the lower divisions of the regional series. Yet their performance was improving and in 1931 the team qualified for the highest level, and one year later they played in the Norwegian Cup for the first time.…
