They currently play in the 3. divisjon, the fourth highest level in the Norwegian football league system.

They became members of the Norwegian Football Association in 1909, and won their first league title in 1912 when the junior team became district champions of Rogaland.

The club has spent most of its time between the third and fourth tiers in Norway and from 1952 to 1962 they found themselves languishing in the regional leagues.

They competed directly against their city rivals Viking FK in 1987 and 1988, finishing ahead of them in 1987.

The rise in sales was due to the TV personality Tim Lovejoy tweeting about the team on Twitter.
