Årvoll has a history of cooperation with other clubs in football. In 2001 it formed (together with Linderud IL and Hasle-Løren IL) the umbrella team Bjerkealliansen, which operated on junior level (age 19 and below).[1] Hasle-Løren backed out ahead of the 2009 season.[2] Ahead of the 2003 season Årvoll's senior team gave up its spot in the league system (then Third Division) to cooperate on the umbrella team Groruddalen BK.[3] Groruddalen BK became a success, was promoted to the Second Division and contended for the First Division, but after the 2008 season it was over.[4] In the meantime, Årvoll, which had started anew, had climbed back up to the Third Division.
