Grefsen stadion is a football stadium in the Grefsen area of Oslo.[1] It opened in 1930 and is now a training ground for approximately 1,000 children and youth.[2] Currently home of Kjelsås Fotball playing in the Norwegian Second Division.[3] The ground has standing areas on three sides, and one seating area with 420 seats.

The stadium's record attendance is 3,295 for a Norwegian Premier League qualification match in 1998 against Kongsvinger IL, although there exist reports of a Vålerenga - Skeid encounter in 1944 where around 5000 spectators were in attendance.

In 2024, Kjelsås was granted an exemption from the local ban on using rubber granules in artificial turf.[2]
