Sarpsborg Sparta Fotballklubb is a football team playing in the Adeccoligaen, the second tier professional league in Norway. They play their home games at the Sarpsborg Stadion.

It was founded in 2000 through a collaboration of 16 teams in the Sarpsborg area. Their goal is to create a team that can compete in the top divisions of Norwegian football.

In 2007, the last major club in the district, Sarpsborg FK, joined the collaboration of teams and ended a rather long and hefty rivalry between the two clubs. At the same time, the name and jersey was changed in an effort to unite the different fractions within the collaboration. The current name of the club is now Sarpsborg Sparta FK.
