History
It was founded on 30 June 1907 under the name Elverum Footballklub.[1]
Elverum played in the 2. divisjon for many years. In 1995, it won its group and was promoted to the 1996 1. divisjon, but was relegated after one year. Between 2000 and 2004, Elverum was relegated and promoted every other year; they played in the 3. divisjon from 2005 to 2010. Elverum won their 3. divisjon group in 2005 and 2006, but lost the playoff-promotion until they won the promotion-playoff in 2010 and returned to the 2. divisjon.[2]
The club was promoted to the First Division again after the 2012 season,[3] but was relegated after only one season back at the second tier.[4]
In the 2016 season, Elverum once again gained promotion back to 1. divisjon.[5]
In 2017, Elverum reached the Fourth round of the Cup for the first time in the club's history.
At the end of the 2017 season, they were once again relegated to the 2. divisjon.[6]
