Last Fredrikstad Coachs
Fredrikstad’s most recent recorded coaching appointment is Andreas Hagen, who began on 1 July 2024. The chronology does not support describing him as the current coach. Mikkjal Kjartansson Thomassen is recorded from January 2023 until July 2024, providing the clearest preceding entry. Earlier records list Joakim Gunnar Klæboe from October 2022, Bjørn Johansen from January 2019 to September 2022 and Per-Mathias Høgmo from December 2017 to January 2019. Hagen’s entry is therefore presented as the latest dated appointment rather than an assumed current role.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the recent movement record presents Fredrikstad’s squad as a changing group shaped by several forms of registration activity. Arrivals include permanent transfers from Norwegian and overseas clubs, loans from Sigma Olomouc and RB Leipzig, free-agent additions and players returning from temporary spells elsewhere. Departures show the same range in reverse, with permanent moves to domestic sides and clubs abroad, free-agent exits, a loan to Raufoss and a return to FK Partizan. The names appearing on both sides of the movement record also underline why these entries are best read as dated transactions rather than a simple snapshot of squad turnover. The recorded arrivals include players who appear in the 20 August squad, while some listed arrivals subsequently feature among the departures. No amounts are recorded for these movements, leaving a picture of active squad reshaping across 2025 and 2026 through domestic recruitment, international pathways, temporary moves and reversals of loan status. These are recorded movements, not a complete transfer account.
Leagues Fredrikstad has participated in
Fredrikstad’s recorded competition profile spans Norway’s top flight, cup football, European competition and earlier lower-division campaigns. The NM Cupen is recorded from 2019 through 2026 and remains a recent competition in the club’s schedule. Eliteserien participation is recorded for 2024 and 2025, while Friendlies Clubs and the UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Europa League entries run through 2025. The Atlantic Cup is a historical 2024 entry. Earlier records cover the 1. Division through 2023 and the 2. Division - Group 1 through 2020. This mix reflects a club with current domestic cup involvement and recent top-flight and European participation.
More about Fredrikstad
Fredrikstad, officially Fredrikstad Fotballklubb, was founded in 1903 in the Norwegian city that gives the club its name. Known as Aristokratene, or The Aristocrats, it is one of the country’s historic football institutions and a major symbol of regional pride in Østfold. The club’s traditional red-and-white identity is closely tied to its long domestic story; the colours were adopted in 1926 after inspiration from the Polish national team following a friendly match. Fredrikstad’s strongest historical era came in the mid-20th century, when it established itself among Norway’s leading clubs. Its recorded honours include nine league titles and 12 Norwegian Cup triumphs, placing it among the nation’s most successful sides. That heritage also gives the club a lasting European dimension, with Fredrikstad having represented Norway in continental competitions after successful domestic campaigns. The modern home is Fredrikstad Stadion, opened in 2007 on the former Værste shipyard site. Parts of the ground incorporate the old workshop halls, creating a venue where football is set within the city’s industrial landscape. The stadium’s riverside setting and approximately 12,560-seat capacity help connect the club’s historic identity with a modern match-day environment. Fredrikstad’s supporter culture is strongly associated with Plankehaugen, whose vocal presence contributes to the atmosphere around home fixtures. The club operates within Norway’s organised football structure under a conventional board-led model, while its broader ecosystem includes domestic league and cup competition, player development and periodic European involvement. The Aristocrats nickname reflects both the club’s early stature and its place in Norwegian football memory. Fredrikstad’s identity remains rooted in continuity: a 1903 foundation, a decorated national history, a distinctive shipyard stadium and a regional following that carries those traditions into the modern game.
