GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT EIK:

About the club:

The "Egersunds Idretts Klubb" (Egersund Sports Club) is a multi-sports club, where members also participate in handball and athletics. Altogether the club has close to 1.000 members, with football being by far the most popular sport.

The club's colours are yellow and black, with the first team being nicknamed "Tigers" because of the striped shirts and the club's crest.

The club is located in Egersund, a small town on Norways southwestern coast with around 13.000 inhabitants. The town itself is Norways biggest fishing port, and also has a large wharf with close to 900 employees.

Our first team was promoted to the second division in 2004 for the first time in eleven years, but were relegated again after just one season and will start the 2006 season in familiar territory in division 3 (level 4). However, spirits are high, and appointing the former Northern Ireland international Jimmy Quinn as head coach is an indicate that the club has ambitions to climb up the league-pyramide.

As important as our first team is the fact that the club has one or several teams in every agegroup for both boys and girls from the age of six onwards, playing in different local leagues.

The club also has its own clubhouse (See ground section) where most of our activity is based.

The parent-club is run by an elected board covering all sports, but the annually elected board of football runs most of its own business.
