History
Abildsø Idrettslag was formed in September 1931, and competed in the Arbeidernes Idrettsforbund. The club had cycling, athletics, bancy, skiing, handball, and football on the programme. In the 1970s and 1980s, the ski team folded. The last decade has seen the football team become the focus of the club. In the 2001 season, the club had 21 teams competing. In addition, they had 7 teams run jointly with other clubs.
Football
The club owns a large football field, and a club house with four changing rooms at Østensjøvannet. There are also two training pitches, two seven-a-side pitches, and two women's pitches, as well as an all-weather pitch. Work began on a new all-weather pitch at Abildsø on 4 May 2009.
The men's football team plays in the Fifth Division (sixth tier), and the reserves play in the Seventh Division. The club played in the Norwegian Second Division as late as in 1999.
