Template:Football club infobox
Hamarkameratene or Ham-Kam is a Norwegian football club founded in 1918 originally under the name Freidig. They play their home games at Briskeby Gressbane in the city of Hamar.
The team was most recently promoted to the Norwegian Premier League in 2003. A third place finish in 1970 is the highest position that the team has held in the Premier League; the club has never reached beyond the semi-finals in the National Cup, last reaching the semi-finals in 1989).
After seven years of struggling in the first and second divisions, the hiring of Ståle Solbakken as the team's coach before the start of the 2003-season was to become the beginning of a rapid ascent towards the top of Norwegian football for the green and white. Having won the first division in 2003, they entered the Premier League for the first time since 1995, and wound up in fifth place at the end of the 2004-season. Thought by many to be unable to cope in the company of wealthier clubs, this was an impressive feat by the team with the second-smallest budget of them all.
