Stjørdals-Blink Fotball

What Stjørdals-Blink Fotball does

Stjørdals-Blink Fotball is a Norwegian non-profit football club founded in 1956 through the merger of Stjørdal idrettslag and Idrettslaget Blink, headquartered in Stjørdal municipality, Trøndelag. The club competes in 2. divisjon avd. 2, the third tier of Norwegian football, fielding a senior men's team alongside a multi-age-group youth setup that includes a G19 (under-19) squad. As of the 2026 season the senior team sits 11th after 12 matches with 11 points, playing home fixtures at TMT Stadion Sandskogan, which was completed in 2020 to replace the older Blinkbanen ground.

The club operates a community-led go-to-market model across four revenue streams: matchday ticket sales via the TicketCo platform, tiered corporate sponsorship (Brannkassen as main partner, Tveraas/TMT as stadium naming partner, plus a screen-partner network including SpareBank 1 SMN, Extra Coop, Brødrene Hofstad, Dedicare, Vianor Stjørdal, Specsavers, and Sport 1), stadium operations (Blinkteltet fan hospitality, venue rental "Utleie"), and youth/community programs such as the FUT Fotballskole summer football school and the Gullkort supporter membership. A recently introduced Jentedager program offers free trial sessions targeted at girls and women, indicating deliberate investment in female football participation.

The organization runs with approximately 8 employees, supported by an active volunteer base typical of Norwegian idrettslag structures, and is governed through an annual meeting (årsmøte). No proprietary technology, AI, or API offerings are disclosed; commercial operations rely on standard ticketing SaaS, social media channels (Facebook group of 2,315+ members, Twitter @Blinkfotball), email, and the Minidrett.no membership platform. No external funding rounds, investor capital, or ownership concentration outside member governance are evidenced.
