The19872. divisjon was aNorwegian second-tierfootball league season.
The league was contested by 24 teams, divided into two groups; A and B. The winners of group A and B were promoted to the1988 1. divisjon.[1] The second placed teams met the 10th position finisher in the1. divisjon in a qualification round where the winner was promoted to 1. divisjon. The bottom three teams inn both groups were relegated to the3. divisjon.
Sogndal won group A with 49 points andStrømmen won group B with 46 points. Both teams promoted to the 1988 1. divisjon. The second-placed teams,Djerv 1919 andLyn metHamKam in the promotion play-offs. Djerv 1919 won the qualification and was promoted to the 1. divisjon.
For the first time inNorwegian football, three rather than two points were given for wins. There was also another, more controversial new rule for points: if a match was drawn, two points would be given to the winner of apenalty shootout, and one point to the loser of the shootout. This rule, suggested byTom A. Schanke and appointed by theNorwegian Football Association in February 1987, was highly controversial and liquidated after the 1987 season.[2]
