Klepp idrettslag

What Klepp idrettslag does

Klepp Idrettslag is a Norwegian voluntary multi-sport association (idrettslag) founded in 1919 and headquartered in Kleppe, Norway, serving approximately 1,100 members across seven sports groups: football, handball, gymnastics, e-sport, basketball, inclusive sports (Klepp+ FFO), and an additional interest-based group. The club operates multiple dedicated facilities — Klepp Stadion (extended in 2021 with e-sport rooms, strength training, and multi-use space), Klepp Turnhall, Klepphallen, and Sentralbaneanlegget — and fields a women's elite football side, Klepp Kvinner Elite, competing in Toppserien (Norway's top women's football division).

The association's core offering is organized participation in competitive and recreational sport, with programming structured by age and group. Technology footprint is conventional for a Norwegian idrettslag: club administration, sponsorship and member management, and facility scheduling. Recent product activity has expanded the portfolio beyond traditional Norwegian club sports into e-sport (launched November 2021 in partnership with Ehra E-sport) and basketball (launched August 2022).

Klepp Idrettslag funds itself as a non-profit voluntary association. Reported revenue was 12,666,501 NOK in 2020 (with an operating surplus of 260,434 NOK and net result of 197,591 NOK) and approximately 15-16 million NOK in 2023. Revenue is generated through a combination of membership fees, sponsorship (~60+ local businesses including Jæren Sparebank as generalsponsor, Coop Klepp, Umbro, and Klepp Energi/Altibox), operational partnerships (Ehra E-sport, Sport 1 Jærhagen), public grants, and matchday/merchandise activity tied to its elite women's football side. Governance is led by Chairman Monica Orstad (Leder) with Herdis Bjerkeset serving as Daglig leder (general manager).
