In May 2016, Kristiansund BK became a part of the Eliteserien after an unforgettable season in the OBOS-ligaen. With a solid performance throughout the season, they were led by coach Christian Michelsen, who had a vision of building a competitive club in the top division.

The decisive match took place at a packed Kristiansund Stadium, where the fans created an electric atmosphere. The Kråkenes needed just a draw to secure promotion, but they were determined to win. The players, led by stars like Benjamin Stokke and Kjetil Løseth, showcased unparalleled determination and team spirit.

The match was a thriller, with intensity and chances from both sides. But it was Kristiansund who could finally celebrate, thanks to a fantastic goal from Stokke, who sent the ball into the net from the edge of the box. This goal became a symbol of the club's journey and the dream of competing with the best in Norway.

The promotion was not only a sporting achievement but also a confirmation of the hard work put in by players, coaches, and, not least, the club's loyal supporters. The celebration after the match was a mix of relief, joy, and pride, as the entire town came together to honor the Kråkene.

The following year, in 2017, Kristiansund BK took their first steps in the Eliteserien, and the club has since become a stable participant in the top division. This legendary evening in 2016 will always be remembered as a milestone in the club's history and as a reminder of what is possible with hard work and dedication.
