The men's football team played in the First Division, the second tier of Norwegian football, as late as in 1993.[17] After being relegated it had a stint in the Second Division until 2000, when it succumbed to Nybergsund IL in a relegation playoff.[18] It had tried to loan their own former youth player Martin Andresen from FA Premiership team Wimbledon F.C., but to no avail.[19]

Ahead of the 2001 season it cooperated with other clubs to form a new umbrella team in the region, Follo FK, founded on 29 September 2000. It immediately won promotion to the Second Division, and currently plays in the First Division.[20][21] Ski's men's team had to start anew, and currently plays in the Fourth Division.

Follo uses Ski's home field Ski idrettspark. The attendance record for a Ski match is c.3000, recorded at a game in 1976 against Leicester City F.C.[22]

Handball

[edit]

In handball, Ski is mainly known through the name Fredensborg/Ski. In 1980, Ski IL's handball section cooperated with the handball section of Oslo-based team Fredensborg SBK. The team was successful, but won its last national title in 1985. In 1994 the handball sections of the two clubs formally created the new club Fredensborg/Ski HK, but it lasted only until 1997 when it fell apart for financial reasons.[23] Ski later cooperated with four local teams to form the club Follo HK.[24]

The women's team plays in the Fourth Division.[25] and the men's team in the Third Division.[26]
