History

Oppsal Idrettsforening is the result of several mergers. Bryn Atletklubb is the very oldest predecessor, so the date this club was founded, 4 August 1912, is considered the club's foundation date.

  • Bryn Atletklubb (founded on 4 August 1912) and Bryn Sportsklubb (founded in autumn 1912) merged in 1914 to form Bryn Sport- og Atletklubb, but this name was changed in 1925 to Bryn Idrettsforening.
  • Bryn Sportsklubb merged on 4 September 1927 with Oppsal Sportsklubb (founded on 10 August 1915) and Ulven Idrettsforening (founded on 1 July 1916). Together they formed Idrettsforeningen Bjart.
  • Bjart joined forces in 1945 with Idrettsforeningen Freidig (founded on 15 June 1928) and Ulven Idrettsforening (founded on 22 June 1913). The association took the name Idrettsforeningen B.F.G..
  • B.F.G. merged on 1 January 1970 with Oppsal Idrettsforening (founded 1 July 1940) and Trasop Ishockeyklubb (founded 6 January 1965). The result of the merger was Oppsal Idrettsforening. On 9 November 2005, the club changed this name to Oppsal Alliance-Idrettsforening.
