Norway Cup has been played every year since 1972, except in 1976, when it was canceled because the club also organized the Oslo Cup in handball. Overall through the years, participants, players and referees from 127 nations have participated. In addition, Norway Cup is by many considered to be women’s football’s cradle in Norway. We have had girls teams participate from the start with eight girls teams taking part in 1972. This was four years before the Norwegian Football Association officially recognized women’s football. 1600 of Bækkelagets Sportsklubs over 2800 members volunteer during Norway Cup.
