marklaget

Marklaget is a name used by several local amateur sports clubs in Norway and Sweden. The term combines mark meaning field or ground and lag meaning team, and is often used to indicate a club drawn from a specific district or locality.

Rather than a single organization, Marklaget refers to multiple teams that adopt this label, usually in football (soccer) and other field sports, especially at the amateur level. These clubs typically operate within regional leagues and cups and emphasize participation over professional competition.

Administration is generally voluntary, with club officials, coaches, and volunteers from the local community. Programs often focus on youth development, inclusive participation, and social activities that reinforce local identity.

Because the name marks a locality rather than a specific club, there is no one Marklaget with nationwide prominence. Notable achievements are recorded for the individual clubs that carry the name.
