Donn Toppfotball
editThe women's football team Donn Toppfotball played in Toppserien, the highest tier of women's football in Norway, for two periods. The first spell was between 1993 and 1995, and the club also reached the final of the Norwegian Women's Cup in 1994 where they were beaten by Trondheims-Ørn. Charmaine Hooper, the most capped Canadian player, played for Donn during this heyday for the club. The women's team also played in Toppserien in 2010.
The women's team won promotion in the 2009 season, and they reconstituted themselves as a professional outfit called Donn Toppfotball. After finishing 9th in 2010 Toppserien, Donn Toppfotball was bankrupted.[3]
