Anders Hiim (born 13 September 2002) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a left back for Sarpsborg 08.
He is a son of Svein Arne Hiim, who player for Viking FK in Norway's highest league in the 1980s. His sister Maria Hiim made her Toppserien debut for Klepp in 2014. She played for Klepp as well as Norway U16, U17, U19 and U23 until 2017, finishing her career with two years in Røa.
Hiim grew up in Sandnes and started out in the local club Bogafjell IL. When he turned 16, Bogafjell could not field a full team anymore, so Hiim went to the academy of regional giants Viking FK. According to himself, he lost motivation during the initial COVID-19 pandemic in Norway, and ultimately quit Viking in 2021. Instead, he decided on doing military service. Starting the program to become a paratrooper in Rena Camp , he had to quit this endeavour because of an allergic reaction. Hiim then moved home and rejoined Bogafjell which had a senior team in the Fifth Division, the sixth tier of Norwegian football. However, after a few games, he decided to make a last-ditch effort on top-level football and joined the youth team of Sandnes Ulf. Shortly after, in December 2021, he was contracted to the senior team.
He quickly became a regular in 2022 and also made his international debut for Norway U20, followed by Norway U21 in 2023.
A summer transfer to SK Brann was rumoured, together with unnamed foreign clubs. He was ultimately purchased by Sarpsborg 08 FF, as a replacement for Joachim Soltvedt whom Brann had landed on buying.
