Fredrik Semb Berge (born 6 February 1990) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a defender for Odds Ballklubb. Hailing from Skien, Berge joined the youth-ranks of Odd at the age of 15, and made his first-team debut in 2009. The following season he became a regular in the team's central defence.

Berge has represented his country at youth international level, and was included in the Norwegian under-21 squad for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He has also been capped at senior level, making his debut for Norway in 2013.

Club career

Odds BK

Berge was born in Skien,[1] and started to play youth-football for Storm at the age of seven.[2] As a youngster, Berge was troubled with injuries and had four fractures in his legs in addition to a lot of strain injuries.[3] In 2005 he transferred to Odd Grenland. He attended the Gjerpen Lower Secondary School, and later Toppidrettsgymnaset i Telemark which has a cooperation with Odd.[2] He made his debut for Odd's first team in the First Division match against Hønefoss on 4 October 2008, and made a total of three appearances in the 2008 season.[1] He made his debut in Tippeligaen against Brann in May 2009.[4] He scored his first goal for Odd in Norwegian Cup match against Brann the same season, and scored his first goal in Tippeligaen against Strømsgodset on 26 July 2010.[5] Berge made his break-through in the 2010 season, and became a regular in Odd's central defence alongside Morten Fevang.[6]

Molde wanted to buy Berge ahead of the 2013 season, but the NOK 2 million bid for the centre back was promptly rejected by Odd.[7] Dag-Eilev Fagermo, Odd's head coach, was furious about Molde's behaviour and claimed the back-to-back Tippeligaen winners looked down on the other Norwegian clubs after the bid for Semb Berge, which according to Fagermo was worth at least NOK 10M.[8] Odd has been struggling with the finances since 2008, and has been forced to sell their biggest profiles, and in 2013 Semb Berge was the player Odd wanted to sell.[9] However, in May 2013 an Odd-fan who won more than NOK 102M in the Eurojackpot lottery, paid NOK 2,5M for a 25% share of Semb Berge, to prevent Odd from being forced to sell him for a low price to a Norwegian club.[10][11]

Brøndby IF

Season 2014-2015

On 30 June 2014 Fredrik Semb Berge made a transfer for an undisclosed fee from the Norwegian side Odds BK and signed a four-year-contract with the Danish Brøndby IF which ties him to the club until the summer 2018. Fredrik was handed jersey number 3.[12]

International career

Berge made eight appearances and scored one goals for Norwegian youth teams from under-15 level to under-18 level.[13] He made his debut for the under-21 team against Finland U-21 in June 2010,[5] and became a regular in the team that qualified for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, normally as the third-choice centre back behind Thomas Rogne and Stefan Strandberg. Berge was also selected for the squad for the under-21 championship in Israel, as one of three centre-backs.[14] In the second match of the championship, Berge scored Norway's first goal when England U-21 was beaten 3–1.[15]

Berge was one of six debutants at the Norwegian national team in the 1–0 friendly victory against South Africa in January 2013. Berge played 90 minutes in his first match for Norway and was praised for his performance by national team coach Egil Olsen.[3] Berge also appeared in the friendly match against Zambia four days later.
