It is best known for its men's football team that plays in 1. deild karla, the second tier of Icelandic football. The club was founded in 1973 and is based in Breiðholt, Reykjavík. In 2014 the men's football team placed 1st in the 1. deild karla and won a promotion to the Úrvalsdeild, however after just one season they were relegated to back to the first division. Their home is Leiknisvöllur, where they have played since their early years. The club's motto is "Pride of Breiðholt".
