Strømsgodset IF is a Norwegian multi-sports club from Gulskogen in Drammen. It has sections for association football, team handball and bandy, but is best known for the top-level football section known as Strømsgodset Toppfotball, which currently plays in the Norwegian Premier League. The club was founded 10 February 1907, but was most successful in the late 1960s and early 1970s, led by the young striker Steinar Pettersen and his class-mates, who got Strømsgodset from division 4 to the elite division in just a few years. Strømsgodset won the Norwegian Premier League in 1970 and have won the Norwegian Cup in 1969, 1970, 1973, 1991, and 2010. The famous team from the 60s and 70s was popular as the "Rødgata Boys", after the street most of them lived in. Most of these players were also accomplished bandy players, and Strømsgodset won four Championships in "the winter version of football". Four of the football players collected silver medals in the bandy World Championships in 1965; Steinar Pettersen, Inge Thun, Thorodd Presberg and Ole Johnny Friise.

In 1997, Strømsgodset had one of the best seasons in recent times, finishing 3rd in the premier division and runners up the cup final. In 2010, Strømsgodset had the best season since 1997, finishing 7th in the premier division and winning the cup final. This was Strømsgodset's first cup win in 19 years.

Before the 2006 season 'Godset' were saved from bankruptcy by a group of investors. This gave rise to a "new version" of Strømsgodset IF, with the club signing 13 new players before the 2006 season and letting 15 players go. Strømsgodset swiftly achieved promotion to the Norwegian Premier League at the first attempt, captained by the legendary Øyvind Leonhardsen. Winger Mattias Andersson finished as the top scorer for the division with 21 goals to his name. The club is also well known in England for being beaten by Liverpool F.C by 11–0 in 1974. The club has a loyal supportersclub in GodsetUnionen.

Home ground

Strømsgodset IF play their home games at Marienlyst Stadion. Marienlyst has a current capacity of approx. 7500. There are 5400 seats on the sides and 1100 seats at one of the ends. In addition a further 1100 can be placed in a non seated section called klokkesvingen.[1] Record attendance through all times is 16.687 against Rosenborg BK in 1969.[2]

The stadium often goes under the name of "Gamle Gress" (meaning "Old turf")

Field measurements are 106 m x 68 m.

The turf has now been replaced with an artificial grass surface, as well as being fitted with an artificial icing surface for bandy.

Marienlyst Stadium has frequently been used in Norway U21 International matches, and on 16 October 2012 when Norway U21 beat France U21 5-3 at Marienlyst and qualified for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, after France won 1-0 in the first play-off match.[3]

The club wanted out of the stadium to a proposed new stadium at Sundland, nearer to their "birthplace", which was to open for the 2010 season. When financing fell through, the club begged to stay at the stadium, even though other plans had been made for it.
