Knut Sirevåg (born 26 August 1978) is a retired Norwegian footballer who played as a defender. He played for Bryne FK his entire senior career, from 1995 to 2006, including their period in the Eliteserien.
He is a son of Trond Sirevåg, who managed Bryne FK in 1995, when Knut made his first-team debut.[1] He made his youth international debut for Norway in 1994.[2]
A new highlight was reached when Sirevåg and Bryne won promotion from the 1999 1. divisjon to the 2000 Eliteserien. He got a one-year extension of his contract.[3] The club was criticized by some for signing too many external players, especially from Sweden. Knut Sirevåg, being one of the last local players, stated: "It is outright critical if we reach Ullevaal and the national anthem has to be sung in Swedish".[4]
