Over the years the club has mainly been active in team sports such as football, bandy, handball and ice hockey at various levels in the Swedish league systems. The most successful section of the club has been the now defunct bandy team. The club currently only runs a football section.[2]

When the alliance with Vasalund was dissolved, Essinge IK once again changed back to their original name.[3]
