MiKi is affiliated to SPL Kaakkois-Suomen piiri, the south eastern regional district of the Finnish FA.

Both MiKi and MP returned to first-team football by taking FC Mikkeli's and MiPa's places in Kakkonen.

Pallo-Kissat were quite successful in their day as they played in the top level of Finnish football, back then called Mestaruussarja, over the years 1962–1964, 1971 and 1974–1979.

But towards the 1980s, the club began experiencing severe economic distress and finally after being relegated to the second division, they were declared bankrupt at the start of the season in 1984.

MiPK players transferred to the newly established MiKi which provided a sound foundation for the new club's future.
