In 2015, under the guidance of former footballer Ståle Andersen, KFUM finally clinched promotion to the 1. divisjon by winning Group 1. The team continued to impress in 2018, finishing second in the 2. divisjon group 2 and qualifying for the promotion playoffs. They secured promotion to the 2019 1. divisjon.^[2] divisjon by defeating Åsane 4–3 on aggregate in the playoffs.

In 2023, KFUM made history by earning promotion to the Eliteserien for the first time. The decisive moment came with a 1–0 victory over Skeid, with Remi-André Svindland scoring the winning goal in the 67th minute.
