History

Results have varied over the years. Making it to the 3rd round of the cup in 1964 was until recently the club's greatest achievement.

Then a period of steady advancement started, and in 2000 the team was promoted to the First Division. They have since played several seasons in the First Division, but spent the 2002 and 2006 seasons in the Second Division, and were again relegated in 2007. In 2009, the club was relegated to the Third Division. In the 2010 season, it won all its 26 league matches in the Agder section of the Third Division.
