{{short description|Norwegian sports club}} {{Infobox athletics club | clubname = Skeid | image = Skeid logo.svg | fullname = Idrettsklubben Skeid (trad.) | founded = 1 January 1915 | ground = | }} '''Skeid''' is a Norwegian alliance sports club from Nordre Åsen, Oslo. It has sections for association football (one for elite and one for grassroots football), Nordic skiing and bandy.
==General history== The club was founded as ''IK Skeid'' on 5 December 1925. It was a merger between the two clubs ''Kristiania BK'' (founded 1 January 1915 as a merger of ''Njord'' and ''Oslo FK'') and ''SFK Frem'' (nicknamed ''Frem 14'', founded 9 April 1914 as a merger of ''Bjølsen FK'' and footballers in Thorshaug IF). Skeid now counts 1 January 1915 as its founding date. The club colors in ''Kristiania BK'' were red and blue, which are still used, whereas the yellow and black club colors of ''SFK Frem'' are found in the logo as well as the current team jerseys in the winter sports.<ref name=snl>{{cite encyclopedia|year=2007|title=Skeid|encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon|editor=Henriksen, Petter|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|url=http://www.snl.no/Skeid|language=Norwegian|accessdate=20 August 2010}}</ref><ref name=oby>{{cite encyclopedia|year=2000|title=Skeid, Idrettsklubben|encyclopedia=Oslo byleksikon|edition=4th|editor=Tvedt, Knut Are|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|page=390|isbn=82-573-0815-3}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skeid.no/klubben|title=Allianseidrettslaget Skeid|publisher=Skeid|language=Norwegian|accessdate=20 August 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100809121535/http://www.skeid.no/klubben|archivedate=9 August 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Olstad|first=Finn|title=Forsvar, sport, klassekamp 18611939|series=Volume one of ''Norsk idretts historie''|year=1987|publisher=Aschehoug|location=Oslo|language=Norwegian|isbn=82-03-11337-0|page=175}}</ref> Former sports in the club include ice hockey and orienteering.<ref name=snl/> The club does not use ''IK Skeid'' anymore, often just Skeid or ''Allianseidrettslaget Skeid'' ("Alliance Sports Team Skeid").
