Is this the most UNDERRATED DERBY in EUROPE?! | Fredrikstad FK (a) | Football Weekender Ep. 29

[@DjangoAccelerando]

I think it's really cool that you cover derbies like this. Fredrikstad has been a big name in Norwegian football and has been greatly missed in recent years in the top divison. The clash against Sarpsborg is important for Norwegian fotball. Appreciate the work you do, greetings from a Vålerenga patriot.

[@FootballWeekender]

Thanks mate! I’m planning to be over again in August for Vålerenga vs Lyn 🇳🇴 🔥

[@FaultyFirestick]

Great video! Thank you for visiting our beautiful town. I'm glad you liked it here. I always enjoy watching KZbinrs cover norwegian matches, and it's incredible to finally also see my beloved Fredrikstad FK getting some attention. Around 3:27, you mentioned tear gas. The police actually had to use tear gas against a group of people on the other side of the river as they marched towards the stadium. It was the same bunch dressed in black, who threw all the flares out on the pitch. That's why they blocked off the bridge for a while, so it wouldn't escalate and end up in a huge fight. According to a lot of Sarpsborg supporters, they've never even seen most of those people before. Apparently, it was just a group of people who came to the match just to cause trouble. The rumor was that they came all the way from Sweden, but I have no idea if that's true or not. Another derby this year that's worth checking out, is Vålerenga vs. Lyn in OBOS-Ligaen (tier 2). If I could recommend just one match this year (besides the Østfold derbies of course) it would definitely be this one. VIF and Lyn are both from Oslo, and it's without a doubt the biggest derby in Norway. This year, the two clubs meet again in league matches for the first time since 2009. Lyn were relegated the same year, and in 2010 they went bankrupt and had to start again on the 7'th tier. They were promoted to the second tier again last year, and Vålerenga were relegated from the top division.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the great comment! VIF vs Lyn is 100% in my plans for later in the year! 🇳🇴🔥

Found this video searching for FFK here and Im not kidding at 2:18 the very short clip of the blonde guy with White caps and ffk long sleeve, thats acctully me XD thats crazy 😁

[@gxrnax7]

I would love you to go to a SK Brann match, they have really good fans even on away games they always make much noise. Against every team home or away alway super loud. The passion for the club is amazing, they have pyro, flaggs, singing fans, tifos and much more. I would love that❤️

[@TheRealHanzan]

Awesome video mate! No wonder you, and so many more, havent heard about this derby. Its been a long time coming. since before 2008, Sarpsborg didnt have any team competing in the top flight. Their original team Sarpsborg FK is the last one to have made an impact. S08 is an collaboration effort which has worked out. While after 2008 Fredrikstad FK has had massive issues on and off the pitch. Almost went bankrupt during the following years aswell. So the teams has managed to almost avoid eachother completely. The derby is more of a town rivalry more than a club rivalry. And it started all the way back in 1560 already. Football later became the way to let the rivalry unfold and when the boys in Fredrikstad declined Hugh Kenworthys request to join the team, he turned around and founded Sarpsborg FK. Reason as to why he was denied? He was from sarpsborg. There is alot of history between the teams and im so happy you managed to secure a ticket and watch the game. Well made video! Keep it up

[@FootballWeekender]

Awesome comment mate, very interesting! Thanks for taking the time to post this 🙏 I had a great time in Fredrikstad, I’d like to visit again and do the game in Sarpsborg to compare the two - hopefully next season 🤞

[@markjenks2027]

Had a different experience last weekend at Fredrikstad with an evening kick off played in 27° heat. An early red card probably contributed to a goal less draw however my last game in Stabaek made up for the lack of goals there as they threw away a 4-0 lead after 60 minutes to lose 4-5!😮

[@FootballWeekender]

Thanks again Alan 👍

[@Shwopers]

as a norwegian from fredrikstad, i can say that the reason its such a hype game, is sue to us having the inbred hating of sarpsborg. if we hear that someone is from there, we mostly say "oh, thats why you are like that" or something along the lines of that.

[@Fedda10]

Hi I’m new here, I have A question about if you Can go on Viking-Haugesund in Stavanger ? It would be cool😊

Hi mate 👋 I don’t know much about that match but it sounds cool! Are Viking & Haugesund big rivals?

[@erikkarlsen5675]

This might be a surprice to you but i will give you some completely meaningless information. Fredrikstad needed a new stadium because the old one was run down. If was difficult to find an area, but then it turned out that the abandoned dry docks would fit a field. So the stands at the long sides are from the shipyard.

[@ugluuk1272]

The battle of Østfold is HUGE and people who dont live here have no idea how much it means to us. Just listen to the Sarpsborg commentator from an earlier bout lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYnPgqqhabaYY7M

Fredrikstad is the Norwegian version of Leeds (actually the Norwegian branch of Leeds fanclub was founded there). Lots of spectators, and usually at second or third level in Norwegian football last 30 years. But now we are finally back. And we will destroy Sarpsborg !

[@mk4s576]

Hey, you should try to Get tickets for The Vålerenga-Lyn game(The biggest Derby in Norway). Although they are in The 2 divison this season, it is The game with The most rivalry. You should look up The game that was some weeks ago, on KZbin. In october they meet again.🔵

[@samuelhakansson6680]

The game is played on August 26th. Gonna be fantastic, like the last one a couple weeks ago.
