Sarpsborg 08 Fotballforening is a football club in Norway. It was formed in 2008. Since the beginning of the 20th century there were several football teams in Sarpsborg, among them were Sarpsborg FK and IL Sparta, but since 1974 during two decades no representative from Sarpsborg competed in the top division.
In 1999 Sarpsborg Fotball was formed, founded by 16 local teams and the newly established squad began to compete, replacing the spot of Sarpsborg FK. Then Sparta and Sarpsborg FK left Sarpsborg Fotball, but in some time Sparta re-joined. The team became FK Sparta Sarpsborg and advanced to Adeccoligaen in 2005. In 2007 Sarpsborg FK re-joined and in 2009 the football club was named Sarpsborg 08 FF.
In 2010 they finished Adeccoligaen runners-up thus winning promotion to Tippeligaen. The following season they finished 16th, dropped down and in 2012 they again won promotion to the top division.
Sarpsborg Stadion has a capacity of 4,700 spectators.
