The 1986 season proved a landmark when Zenith finally gained promotion to Division 4, the level the club played with few exceptions for more than 20 years.

The game was noted also by the Finnish media after the team's return home, particularly when Malta just weeks later drew 2–2 with Portugal in the Euro 1988 qualification.

Their first two years in the local series proved to be much more successful than anticipated and the club secured the rights to play in the newly formed nationwide Division 1 for the 2002–03 season.

The first two seasons were a rollercoaster ride but since 2004 Zenith have been one of the most respected first division futsal teams in Finland, although blamed by some opponents for their defensive approach to the game.

In 2009 the club were honoured to be invited to Tallinn in Estonia to play FC Flora for the first international game in the Zenith's futsal history.
