## Overview

The football club plays their home games at [Gressbanen](/source/Gressbanen) in Oslo.

Ready's elite [bandy](/source/Bandy) team[1] started playing in the [Norwegian Bandy Premier League 2004–05](/source/Norwegian_Bandy_Premier_League_2004%E2%80%9305), where they remain. The club has 14 Norwegian championships; the last one in 2015 after having won their 13th championship in 1927.
