In the first couple of years, Mo only played against teams with Englishmen working in the area, but on 7 June 1907 ''Ranen Kompani'' was beaten 2–1 in the first match between two teams from Nord-Norge.{{cite web |first=Per Bjørn |last=Pedersen |url=http://www.nrk.no/nordland/fylkesleksikon/index.php/Da_fotballen_kom_til_Nord-Norge |language=no |title=Da fotballen kom til Nord-Norge |work=nrk.no |publisher=[NRK](/source/Norwegian_Broadcasting_Corporation) |access-date=12 January 2012}} One of the most memorable moments from the 2004-season was the 0–2.{{cite web|url=http://www.altomfotball.no/element.do?cmd=match&matchId=63694&tournamentId=110&seasonId=326 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120718154301/http://www.altomfotball.no/element.do?cmd=match&matchId=63694&tournamentId=110&seasonId=326 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 18, 2012 |title=Mo - Tromsø - NM, menn - 3. runde, 09.06.2004 |website=Altomfotball.no |date=2014-10-13 |access-date=2016-01-31}} loss against [Tromsø IL](/source/Troms%C3%B8_IL), fielding players such as [Morten Gamst Pedersen](/source/Morten_Gamst_Pedersen) in their starting eleven, in the third round of the [2004 Norwegian Football Cup](/source/2004_Norwegian_Football_Cup). On their way to the third round, they beat the second-tier team [Strømsgodset IF](/source/Str%C3%B8msgodset_IF) 2–0.{{cite web|url=http://www.altomfotball.no/element.do?cmd=match&matchId=63428&tournamentId=110&seasonId=326 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120719060924/http://www.altomfotball.no/element.do?cmd=match&matchId=63428&tournamentId=110&seasonId=326 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 19, 2012 |title=Mo - Strømsgodset - NM, menn - 2. runde, 26.05.2004 |website=Altomfotball.no |access-date=2016-01-31}} Mo IL narrowly missed out on promotion to [1. divisjon](/source/1._divisjon) in the [2005 season](/source/2005_2._divisjon). Having led the table for much of the season, their promotion chances were ruined due to form declination during the season-ending fixtures. Before the start of [2006 2. divisjon](/source/2006_2._divisjon), there was a media-hype around Mo's chances for promotion. Mo IL got off to a horrendous start of the season, going through the eight first matches without one single victory. Media was speculating whether the current manager, [Thor André Olsen](/source/Thor_Andr%C3%A9_Olsen), was going to be sacked. In an unlikely turn of events, a giant form leap during the autumn of 2006 took Mo from the very bottom of the table to a worthy fifth place at the season's end. Mo was relegated from the [2. divisjon](/source/2._divisjon) in [2010](/source/2010_2._divisjon), but won their group in the [3. divisjon](/source/3._divisjon) and won promotion in [2011](/source/2011_3._divisjon). Again relegated in [2014](/source/2014_2._divisjon), a victory in the 3. divisjon in [2015](/source/2015_3._divisjon) led to another spell in the [2016 2. divisjon](/source/2016_2._divisjon). Notable former members include the football coaches [Trond Sollied](/source/Trond_Sollied), [Thor André Olsen](/source/Thor_Andr%C3%A9_Olsen) and [Charles Berstad](/source/Charles_Berstad), as well as the former [football referee](/source/Referee_(association_football)) [Jonny Ditlefsen](/source/Jonny_Ditlefsen). == Recent history == :{|class="wikitable" |- style="background:#efefef;" !
