Over the years, the club has played an integral role in promoting football at the regional level and has developed a reputation for nurturing local talent.

In 1993, club chairman Bent Villumsen laid out plans for securing the future success of Odder IGF.

More specifically on 25 August 2010, as Odder IGF reached the second round of the Danish Cup and drew AGF, the largest team in the region.

Almost 2,500 spectators had come to Spektrum Park to see the local side lose 0–1 to AGF after a goal in stoppage time by Casper Sloth.
