History
FK Oslo Øst (Oslo East) were founded on January 1, 2000. Five minor football clubs from the eastern part of Oslo decided to pool their resources into a single elite team, under the presumption that this one team would fare better at the higher levels of Norwegian football than what any of the clubs could ever achieve on their own. The five clubs were Oppsal IF, Abildsø IL, Rustad IL, Nordstrand IF and Manglerud Star Fotball. Nordstrand later withdrew from the project and were replaced by Hauketo Fotball.
Oslo Øst played their home games at Lambertseter stadion, a multi-use stadium in the borough of Nordstrand.
In 2001, Oslo Øst won promotion the 1st Division, and managed to retain their spot in the league. The club was relegated in 2003, then again earned promotion to the 1st Division to start the 2006 season.
During the six years in which Oslo Øst existed they were continuously hampered by financial problems, with the greater costs associated with playing in the 1st Division in 2006, the club faced imminent insolvency. At the end of 2005, a solution was reached whereby Oslo Øst joined the multimodal sports club Manglerud Star, of which one of the five founding clubs of Oslo Øst, Manglerud Star Fotball, had been a subdivision. The name "Oslo Øst" was dropped and the clubs were merged to form a new club, named Manglerud Star Toppfotball, effective for the 2006 season.
The new Manglerud Star club had reduced its costs by having access to the training facilities at Manglerud, and sharing some of its administration with the parent club. Despite this, Manglerud Star went bankrupt on April 4, 2011, and withdrew their two men's team and the women's team.[1]
In 2013, Manglerud Star was refounded and, at the conclusion of the 2015 season, earned promotion to the 3. Divisjon for 2016.
