Tromsø I.L. is a Norwegian football club founded in 1920, from the city of Tromsø. It was promoted to the Norwegian Premier League in 2002 after one year in the first division following 16 consecutive seasons in the highest division. In 2003 they barely rescued their place in the Premier League scoring a winning goal three minutes over time in the seasons final match against league champions Rosenborg B.K.. The arrival of Per Mathias Høgmo before the 2004 season proved to be a success. Tromsø had one of their best seasons ever, and ended on a 4th place in the league, which qualified them for the Royal League and, because of S.K. Brann's victory in the Norwegian Cup, the UEFA Cup. The 2005 season remains a question, however, since Høgmo has decided not to extend his contract, and Tromsø has decided on former assistant manager Otto Ulseth as his replacement.
Tromsø's home pitch, Alfheim, is Norway's largest grass-field, at 110m x 70m.
Famous (ex-)Players: Sigurd Rushfeldt (FK Austria Wien), Tore André Flo (A.C. Siena), Ole Martin Årst (Tromsø), Bjarte Flem (Retired), Morten Gamst Pedersen (Blackburn Rovers), Knut Borch (Tromsø), Lars Iver Strand (Tromsø)
