Oslo og Akershus Bedriftsidrettskrets

What Oslo og Akershus Bedriftsidrettskrets does

Oslo og Akershus Bedriftsidrettskrets (OABIK) is a regional non-profit sports federation founded in 1931 and headquartered at Brynsveien 13, Oslo. Operating as the Oslo and Akershus branch (krets) of Norges Bedriftsidrettsforbund under the umbrella of Norges Idrettsforbund (the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports), it organizes structured corporate sports leagues and one-off competitions for companies and their employees across the Oslo metropolitan area. The federation serves three primary customer types: registered company sports teams (Bedriftsidrettslag), friend/activity groups (Vennelag/Aktivitetslag) aged 30+, and individual employees aged 15+. It offers more than 15 sport disciplines including floorball, handball, volleyball, rinkbandy, football, bowling, table tennis, padel, running, skiing, skating, shooting, kayaking, and digital training, with main venues at Ekeberg Idrettshall and Bærum Ishall.

OABIK's product surface is built on conventional Norwegian sports federation infrastructure: the IdrettOnline platform (bloc.no) for website and member management, Profixio for league registration and scheduling, KlubbAdmin for player registration and insurance administration, and the Min Bedriftsidrett app for member-facing services. The organization is certified as a "Rent særforbund" (Clean Sports Federation) by Antidoping Norge and is governed by its own statutes under NIF's regulatory framework.

Its revenue model is a hybrid of subscription and transactional fees: companies either pay an annual membership fee or a per-season Bedriftsavtale corporate agreement (kr 4,460) to participate; teams additionally pay per-season startkontingent (kr 19,830-23,400 depending on sport and early-bird timing) plus per-match referee fees and mandatory treatment insurance. Supplementary revenue streams include dispensation fees and sponsor income (Söderberg & Partners, Gjensidige, Merida, LO Norge). Go-to-market is community-led — primarily word-of-mouth referrals between companies, workplace outreach, and digital channels (website, newsletter, Instagram), with self-serve online registration. The organization runs on a very lean operating team of 5 employees.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Norges Bedriftsidrettsforbund: National umbrella federation for corporate sports in Norway and parent organization of OABIK. Directly comparable in mission (organizing corporate sports) but operates at national scope with broader portfolio and resources.
• European Federation for Company Sport (EFCS): International federation representing company sport organizations across Europe. Comparable mission — promoting corporate/employee sports participation — but operating at continental scale rather than regional.
• Norges Idrettsforbund (NIF): Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports — the overarching national sports body under which Norges Bedriftsidrettsforbund (and OABIK) sits. Comparable as a membership-based sports federation but with much broader scope including elite and amateur sports.

Direct peers

• Rogaland Bedriftsidrettskrets: Regional corporate sports federation serving the Stavanger/Rogaland region. Comparable in scale, sport portfolio, and Bedriftsavtale corporate agreement model.
• Oslo Idrettskrets: Regional Olympic/idrettskrets for Oslo covering general sports clubs. Comparable as a federation-based sports organizer in the same geography, though focused on broader (non-corporate) club sports.
• Hordaland Bedriftsidrettskrets: Regional corporate sports federation covering the Bergen/Hordaland area under the same national structure as OABIK. Directly comparable in service mix (multi-sport league organization, registration, insurance) and operating model.
• Trøndelag Bedriftsidrettskrets: Regional corporate sports federation in Trøndelag (Trondheim region). Closest functional peer to OABIK with the same league offerings, fee structures, and federation affiliation.

Emerging players

• Spond: Norwegian-origin sports team management platform used by amateur clubs, schools, and corporate teams for scheduling, communication, and registration. Comparable in serving team-based recreational sports administration, though as a technology vendor rather than event organizer.
