Handball
editThe handball club is known as Sandefjord Håndball, and was founded on March 30th 2011. The men team won the 2005-2006 Norwegian national league. They were relegated in 2010 after finishing 10th and losing the playoff matches to Oppsal.
After a year in the second tier, the two clubs met again in the promotion/relegation playoff with roles reversed. Oppsal won again, but withdrew from the Handball league, and therefore Sandefjord was promoted.[1]
