FK Lofoten is aNorwegianfootball club, currently playing in the4. Divisjon. The club was formed as a merger betweenSvolvær IL andKabelvåg IL in 1992. The club played in the1. divisjon in the1999 season, but was relegated after one season.
The club played in the1. divisjon in the1999 season, but they were however relegated in their only season at the second tier. In the decisive match on 17 October 1999, Lofoten had to win away againstSogndal whileByåsen andSkjetten had to draw if Lofoten was going to avoid relegation. Lofoten did their job by beating Sogndal 2–0, and in the match between Byåsen and Skjetten the score was 1–1 after 90 minutes. Byåsen did however score a winning goal in the stoppage time and Lofoten were relegated.
The goal for the 2000 season was to again win promotion. Lofoten won their2. divisjon group, but lost the play-off matches for promotion againstMandalskameratene.After the 2. Divisjon was changed from eight to four groups, the group-winners would automatically win promotion. Lofoten was fighting for promotion for a couple of years, but never managed to win their group again. Due to the poor economy the club lost several of its most important players, and as a consequence Lofoten was relegated to the3. divisjon in 2005.
The club was promoted to the 2. Divisjon in 2007, after winning their 3. Divisjon group and beat Innstrand 4–3 on aggregate in the play-off matches for promotion.
In the2007 Norwegian Football Cup, Lofoten won the qualifying matches against Grovfjord, and was drawn against the 2. Divisjon team Mjølner in the first round. After eliminating Mjølner, Lofoten met the regional greatsBodø/Glimt in the second round. Lofoten lost 1–3 after extra time at home against the 1. Divisjon team.
In the2008 season, Lofoten finished last in their 2. Divisjon group and were relegated to the3. divisjon.
