Bærum Sportsklubb is aNorwegianassociation football club founded on 26 March 1910. The men's team is currently playing in the3. divisjon, after being relegated from the2. divisjon in 2023.
The club comes fromSandvika, the administrative centre of the municipalityBærum. The club was formed asGrane FK, but quickly changed its name toGrane SK to include different sporting codes. The club changed its name toIL Mode in 1946 after a merger withworkers' sports teamSandvika AIL. It took its current name in 1969.
Bærum have won Norwegian Championships inice hockey,team handball andbandy, but now operates as a football-only club. The club's finest hour took place in 2004 when the team beatVålerenga 3-2 in the third round of the Norwegian Cup.
The team plays in yellow shirts and black shorts. The away strip for 2010 is light blue shirts and white shorts. The club now plays atSandvika stadion, the club's traditional home ground, after having played its home games atNadderud stadion for more than 30 years. The pitch was resurfaced withartificial turf in 2003.[1]
In 2002, Bærum was promoted to1. divisjon after winning their2. divisjon group. Their stay in the 1. divisjon only lasted for one season, as they were relegated back to the Second Division in 2003.
The 2005 season ended with the club landing a disappointing fourth spot in the 2. divisjon table behindSparta Sarpsborg,SK Vard Haugesund andNotodden FK. In December 2005 coachArild Stavrum left the club after only one season in charge to take over 2005 Cup winnersMolde FK. Jarle Hellesnes was appointed new head coach after Stavrum's departure. In 2006 Bærum secured second place in the league, two points behind Notodden.
The 2007 season was a disappointing one for the club. After good results in pre-season warm-up games and several good signings, the club was rated among the favourites for promotion. However, the team almost collapsed when real points were at stake. The club finished in sixth place, 19 points behind promotedIL Hødd. The only highlight during 2007 came when the team outplayed and beat Ham-Kam 2-0 in the second round of theNorwegian Cup. Ham-Kam were top of the 1. divisjon and unbeaten away from home at the time the game took place. Coach Jarle Hellesnes resigned before the season was over, with the resignation taking effect after the last game of 2007. Tomi Markovski, a former youth player for the club, who had led Asker from the3. divisjon to second place in the 2. divisjon is the club's new head coach. His first season in Bærum was not as good as expected. Bærum finished fifth in the end, after losing most of the games after the summer.
