History
The club was formed on 14 January 1971 by a group of former Nidelv IL members. The club played its first season in the 6. divisjon (seventh tier) in 1972, and won promotion the next year. After two decades at amateur level, the club earned some success under coach Roar Stokke, and was promoted from the fourth tier to the second tier, where they were fighting for promotion to Tippeligaen, and achieved a fourth place in the 1993 1. divisjon. Stokke resigned from his position in September 1995 after disagreements with the board of directors. In 1996, the club was relegated from the 1. divisjon, and have since alternated between the 2. divisjon and the 3. divisjon. The club won promotion from the 3. divisjon in 2008, after beating Tiller 4-3 on aggregate in the promotion play-offs.
Nardo har vunnet 3. divisjon avdeling 9 totalt fire ganger, i 2004, 2013, 2017 og 2021. De vant også 2. divisjon avdeling 4 i 2009, men klarte ikke å rykke opp til 1. divisjon etter å ha tapt kvalifiseringsspill mot HamKam.
Klubbens beste prestasjon i den norske cupen er å ha nådd kvartfinalen i 2014, hvor de tapte mot Viking.
