History

Sandaker SFK have traditionally played in the lower divisions of Norwegian football, however they spent two consecutive seasons (1947/48 [4] and 1948/49 [5] ) in the Norwegian Top Division. In the Norwegian Cup, Sandaker reached the quarter final in 1951 [6] which is the furthest that they have ever reached. The club's best known player, and only player to play international football [7] for Norway, Ragnar Larsen, [8] played at Sandaker from 1948 to 1951 before moving to Italy, then returning to Sandaker in 1958 until 1962 after playing for Lazio, Genoa, and Swiss club Lugano. He could not play for Norway after leaving Sandaker due to the amateur rules of the Norwegian national team, and the professional nature of the Italian and Swiss leagues.

Merging with Åsen SK

In 1961, Sandaker SFK merged with a nearby club, Åsen Sportsklubb. Åsen SK had been a part of the Arbeidernes Idrettsforbund (AIF), a socialist sports federation in Norway, and had been a pioneer of age specific sports. Åsen SK had organised junior football and handball tournaments in the 1930s. After the merger, from 1961 until 1973, Sandaker SFK was known as Sandaker/Åsen, before reverting to just Sandaker SFK.
