Sotra Sportsklubb is a Norwegian sports club from Sotra in ÃÂygarden Municipality in Vestland county. Founded as Idrettslaget ÃÂygard on 7 June 1945, the club's current activities consist of athletics, basketball, boxing, football, handball and gymnastics.
Idrettslaget ÃÂygard was founded 7 June 1945 on the island of Sotra in Fjell Municipality. On 13 June 2007, IL ÃÂygard met Brann in the second round of the 2007 Norwegian Cup. Brann won the game with the score 5âÂÂ0.
In 2009, IL ÃÂygard merged with Foldnes IL and Brattholmen IL to become Sotra SK. Before the merger, IL ÃÂygard's men's football team played in 3. divisjon (fourth tier), and played their home games at Straume Idrettspark. Their home kits were all-blue and their away kits were all-white.
The men's football team currently plays in 2. divisjon, the third tier of the Norwegian football league system. They promoted from 3. divisjon in the 2018 season. In 2019, Sotra SK's senior football team were offered to join a merger with fellow ÃÂygarden and Sotra clubs Nordre Fjell, Sund SK, SkogsvÃÂ¥g IL, TelavÃÂ¥g IL, Skjergard IL and Nest-Sotra to become a part of the new club ÃÂygarden FK from 2020, but rejected because they wanted to continue on their own.
