Kvik Halden FK is a Norwegianfootball club, founded on 19 June 1906.
The club plays in the2. divisjon after their promotion from the2018 3. divisjon. In2010 they contested aplayoff to win promotion, and succeeded by beatingEik-Tønsberg 5–1 on aggregate.
In 1997, a merger between the twoHalden-based clubs FK Kvik and Halden FK resulted in the formation of Kvik Halden FK. Long before the merger, FK Kvik was informally known as Kvik Halden anyway, to avoid confusion withthe other FK Kvik from Trondheim. FK Kvik was the older and better of the two, but Halden FK had a rather large base of young players. The merger was controversial, and has been criticized by some who claim that the result of the merger was that FK Kvik simply took over Halden FK.
Kvik Halden's only major trophy came in 1918, when the club (then FK Kvik) won theNorwegian Cup, defeatingBrann in the final. FK Kvik also played two other Cup Finals, in 1915 and 1922, but lost both, each time toOdd.
The 1910s and 20s was Kvik's glory days. In this period, the club had several players on thenational team, and was one of the top clubs in Norwegian football. However, since the end ofWorld War II, the team has never played in the highest football division, making Halden the second-largest town in Norway (behindArendal) that has never had a top-division football team since anational league competition was established in 1948.
