Tornado Måløy Fotballklubb is a

Norwegian association football club from Vågsøy, Sogn og Fjordane. It plays in both Måløy and Refvik, and the men's team is situated in the Third Division
, the fourth tier of Norwegian football.

History

The foundation of the club was agreed to in December 2002, as a merger between Tornado FK and Måløy IL. The merger was decided on the annual conventions of Tornado and Måløy, and 100% and 85% of the convention-goers in the respective clubs agreed to the merger. The team started its existence in the Third Division, and had both Refvik stadium and Måløy stadium as home fields.[2]

Tornado was the better team before the merger. Måløy was a Fourth Division team at the time.[3] Tornado had in the past fielded players like Geir Televik[4] and the prolific goalscorer Eivind Iversen. After scoring 41 goals in 26 games in the 1996 season, Iversen had offers to join eleven clubs on higher levels.[5] Iversen joined SK Brann,[6] and Tornado stayed in the Third Division until 1998, when it won its group and was promoted to the 1999 Norwegian Second Division.[7] The team remained there until 2002, when it was relegated. It was the seventh best home team, but the second worst away team.[8] It was speculated that a bankruptcy of fellow Second Division team FK Lofoten might save Tornado Måløy, but the bankruptcy was avoided.[9]

Tornado Måløy's first official match was a

playoff matches against Jevnaker. In 2011, there was 12 Third Division groups instead 24, and Tornado Måløy finished fifth in their group, behind Fana, Bjarg, FBK Voss and Årdal.[1]
