. At Lillestrøm Sportsklubb's annual meeting on 23 March 2022, a controversial proposal was made to merge LSK Kvinner FK into Lillestrøm Sportsklubb. When the annual meetings of both clubs decided to incorporate Team Strømmen as an alliance club in 2009, there was an ambition for the clubs to eventually merge. However, this never happened, and when the new merger proposal surfaced in 2022, it sparked a debate about the relationship between the two clubs. At Lillestrøm Sportsklubb's extraordinary annual meeting on 30 November, the proposal was rejected with 151 votes against and only 7 votes in favour of the merger. After this failed merger process, LSK Kvinner FK began exploring other clubs due to financial difficulties. On 29 May 2024, the club signed a letter of intent with Lørenskog IF regarding a potential merger. However, Lørenskog IF ultimately withdrew from the agreement.
