About Hamarkameratene

Hamarkameratene is a Norwegian football club from the city of Hamar and is commonly known as HamKam. The club was founded in 1918 after a merger of local teams and has since become the main football representative of the region. HamKam is known for its white shirts and green shorts, and it plays its home matches at Briskeby Stadion, a historic stadium that has been the club’s home since the 1930s. The club is an important part of sports life in Hamar and has a strong local identity.

The club’s best sporting achievement came in 1970, when HamKam finished third in the Norwegian top division, which remains its highest league result. In addition, the team has reached the semi-finals of the Norwegian Cup several times, especially during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. These periods are considered the peak eras of the club, when it regularly competed against the strongest teams in Norway and built a reputation as a tough and disciplined side.

In modern football, HamKam has moved between divisions but continues to compete in the Norwegian league system and has returned to the Eliteserien in recent years. The club is known for strong community support and for giving opportunities to local players, maintaining its identity as a small but resilient club. Despite not being one of the biggest teams in Norway, HamKam remains respected for its history, loyal fan base, and ability to fight its way back to the top level.
