KFUM-Kameratene Oslo is the sports branch of the local YMCA in Oslo, Norway. It has departments for association football, futsal, volleyball and track and field. The football team currently plays in Eliteserien from 2024, the top tier of the Norwegian football league system after promotion from Norwegian First Division in 2023.

The club was founded on 1 January 1939. Its traditional base is in downtown Oslo, but it now plays its matches at KFUM Arena at Ekebergsletta.[1]

Football

In 2008 KFUM-Kameratene Oslo won their 3. divisjon group, and also won the playoff to gain promotion.[2] It had formerly failed in such a playoff in 2004.[3] In their first year in the 2. divisjon, the third tier, they finished fourth. In 2010, and again in 2013, they ended up in second place. In 2015 they finally were promoted to the 1. divisjon as champions of Group 1. The team was coached by former football player Ståle Andersen. In 2018, KFUM finished in second place in the 2018 2. divisjon group 2 and qualified for promotion play-offs. The team defeated Åsane with 4–3 on aggregate in the play-offs and won promotion to the 2019 1. divisjon.[4]

In 2023, KFUM-Kameratene Oslo secure promotion to Eliteserien for the first time in history from 2024 season after defeating Skeid with a goal in a narrow 1–0 victory with a goal scored by Remi-André Svindland in 67th minute.
