It was founded on 19 October 1972. The club colors were green and white.[1]

The men's football team played in the 3. divisjon, the fourth tier of Norwegian football, for many years.

The team last played in the 4. divisjon, ending 11th in their group in 2019. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.

In 2021 Vestli merged with Rommen SK to form the new club Stovner SK. The handball section was not a part of the merger.
