The team plays its home matches in the 4,350-capacityConsto Arena. Mjøndalen competes inObos Ligaen, the second tier in theNorwegian football league system having been relegated from theEliteserien at the end of the 2021 season.
Mjøndalen reached the final of the1924 Norwegian Cup where they lost 3–0 againstOdd. In the 1930s, Mjøndalen won theNorwegian Cup three times;1933,1934 and1937. They also lost three finals; in1931,1936 and1938.
As runners-up in the1968 Norwegian Cup, Mjøndalen men's football team represented Norway in theEuropean Cup Winners' Cup in the following1969–70 season. They were eliminated in the first round byCardiff City who defeated Mjøndalen 12–2 on aggregate. After being promoted to thetop division in 1971, Mjøndalen regularly played on the top-tier of Norwegian football in the 1970s and 1980s, and finished second in 1976 and 1986. Finishing runners-up in the league qualified them to represent Norway in theUEFA Cup the following season.
The last round of the 1976 season saw Mjøndalen beatSK Brann, a result which would have awarded them the league title ifLillestrøm SK had lost their game — which they did not. However, Mjøndalen's silver medals saw the team qualify for the1977–78 UEFA Cup, where they lost the first round againstBayern Munich 0–12 on aggregate. After Mjøndalen's second silver medals in the 1986 league season, they were relegated the following season and were not promoted back to the top level until1992. A highlight from the years in lower divisions was their meeting with German sideWerder Bremen in the first round of the1987–88 UEFA Cup. Mjøndalen lost 1–5 on aggregate, but their 1–0 win away at Bremen, remain their only victory inUEFA competitions. After their 1992 top-flight comeback season, Mjøndalen was relegated, had financial challenges, and participated in the second, third and fourth tier of Norwegian football for a number of seasons.
Mjøndalen had a successful2008 in2. divisjon, and returned to1. divisjon for the 2009 season. The club qualified to compete in the promotion knock out stage of 1. divisjon in both2012 and2013, and finally earned promotion to theTippeligaen with a successful2014 play-off result against Brann.[1] Mjøndalen's return toTippeligaen for 2015 marked their first appearance in the top tier in 22 years. The team finished in 15th place — second from bottom — and was relegated to the2016 1. divisjon. In 2018, Mjøndalen finished in second place in the2018 1. divisjon and was promoted toEliteserien. In the following season, Mjøndalen succeeded in retaining their spot in the top flight through winning on the last day of the season.[2]
