About Skeid Fotball

Skeid Fotball is a traditional Norwegian football club from Oslo with a long history in the country’s sporting culture. The club was founded in 1915 and is based in the northern part of the city, where it has developed a strong identity connected to local communities. Skeid is known for its red and blue colours and plays home matches at Nordre Åsen Stadion. The club is also recognized as a multi-sport organization, but football remains its most important section.

Throughout its history, Skeid has experienced periods of success, especially in the mid-20th century. The club won the Norwegian top division title in 1966 and has also been very successful in the Norwegian Cup, winning it multiple times between the 1940s and 1970s. During this era, Skeid was considered one of the stronger teams in Norway and regularly competed at the highest national level.

In modern times, Skeid has moved between divisions and is often seen as a developing club focused on young talent. It has built a reputation as a “talent factory,” producing players who later succeed in higher-level Norwegian and international football. Although it no longer competes at the top of the Eliteserien consistently, Skeid remains an important part of Oslo’s football scene with a strong emphasis on development and community identity.
