A promising youth team emerged during this time, winning the county championship with a decisive 10–1 victory over Sola in the final.
The squad was further bolstered by the addition of three new players: Charles Tjessem from Figgjo, Arild Aadnesen from Nærbø, and Nils Steinsland from Orre.
As the season progressed, Vard Haugesund and Lyn maintained a strong run of form, closing in on Bryne with only two matches remaining.

Under his leadership, Bryne steadily improved and finished in 4th place in the league in 1979, just two points behind the bronze medal position.
While Green played a significant role in these successes, it was built upon the foundation laid by Schou-Andreassen in the previous years.
The following year, the team seemed poised for great success, with three rounds left in the league they were still in contention for the title and had already secured a place in the cup final.
The first extra time was almost over when Bryne defender Kolbjørn Ekker put the ball behind Brann goalkeeper Bjarni Sigurðsson.
The match was played at Stavanger Stadion with thousands of Viking fans in the stands dressed in yellow and black, as Bryne Stadium was under renovation.
The same two continued into the following season, which resulted in a qualification spot, but with a loss to Lillestrøm in the final qualifying match, and remained in the 1. divisjon.
In 1997, it was time for a new foreigner, Kenneth Rosén was appointed as coach, having experience from a relatively high level both in Sweden and Norway.
The team was expected to lose from the start and throughout the season, but managed to avoid relegation in the last match against Odd at home.
Frette continued as coach with Andersen as assistant in 2005, resulting in a 5th place finish in the league and reaching the 4th round of the cup.
After a poor start with lackluster results (last place) and dull play, the coaching duo of Teigen and Haugaasen were dismissed in May.
After Mons Ivar Mjelde's arrival, the team gained momentum and steadily collected points, eventually finishing in 8th place.
Since Bergersen lacked coaching experience in the top divisions and had limited financial resources at his disposal, expectations for the season were not too high.
Bajram Ajeti and Marius Helle resolved what had been the team's Achilles' heel throughout the season, namely scoring goals.
Halvorsen initiated a squad overhaul and implemented a 4–3–3 formation, which led to significant changes in the team's dynamics.
Although their early form was inconsistent, a run of crucial victories during the summer propelled the club into a strong position in the league table.

Promotion was officially secured on 2 November in a home win against local rivals Egersunds IK, a result that guaranteed Bryne second place in the table.
On 14 February 2006, the club unveiled plans for the Jæren Arena, an 8,688-capacity stadium designed by the same architects who created Viking Stadion.
The project was estimated to cost 150 million NOK, and on 12 December 2006, the club announced that it had secured financing for the stadium.
However, obtaining a construction permit for the site proved difficult due to its agricultural zoning, and the club eventually settled for a new location approximately 900 meters south of the current stadium.
[7] Bryne intended to have the stadium completed in time for the 2008 season, but unfortunately, the project hit a snag in 2010 when developer Jæren Arena AS went bankrupt, and the plans were abandoned.
