Football

In the interwar period, the club's football team achieved good results and challenged Brann as the leading team from Bergen. The football team participated in the inaugural season of national league football in Norway; the 1937–38 Norgesserien. This season, Djerv won their group and reached the championship semi-finals where they were lost 2–3 at home against Lyn and were eliminated. They advanced from the quarter-finals through coin toss after a 6–6 draw against Viking. Djerv played in the top tier for four seasons; 1937–38, 1938–39, 1939–40 and 1947–48. In 2009, Djerv's football team relegated from 3. divisjon, the fourth tier in the Norwegian football league system, and has played in either the fifth or sixth tier since then.
