Mjøndalen IF Case Study

Mjøndalen sporting history

BACKGROUND

As a local athletes’ organisation with more than 110 years of local history and presence in the community, Mjøndalen IF (sports association) has been a major contributor to the every-day life of the people in the region of Mjøndalen. Throughout the 20th century the organisation has documented the every day life of a local community and has a rich history from a wide range of sports and activities, from a world record in ski jumping from 1915, to a leg endary tv show of the underdog and charismatic football team fighting in the Norwegian top division. Mjøndalen IF has always been a challenger and an organisation to push the boundaries.
