Fotballklubben Jerv is a Norwegian football club from Grimstad. Jerv is the Norwegian name for wolverine. They currently play in the Norwegian Second Division, the third tier of Norwegian football.
History The club was founded in 1921, as Vestergatens FK, named after the street in which the foundation took place, but later changed name to Djerv and then Jerv.
In the 1970s and 1980s the team had a number of foreign coaches, including Bo Johansson who managed the team in 1984 and 1985 and went on to coach several clubs and national teams. In November 2007 Jerv signed another well-known ex-footballer Tore André Dahlum as coach.
In 2021, Jerv were promoted to the top division, Eliteserien, for the first time in their history. They were promoted through the play-offs, where they beat Brann in the final. The score was 4–4 after extra time, but Jerv won 8–7 on penalties.
FK Jerv has no women's section, as this split away in 1999 to form a new club Amazon Grimstad FK.
