The club first began playing in the Estonian non-league Rahvaliiga, but entered IV liiga in the following year. Rumori made their debut in the Estonian league system by playing at the artificial turf ground next to Kalevi Keskstaadion and finished the 2016 IV liiga North/West division season in third place, thus earning promotion to III liiga. The club played in III liiga North division from 2017 until their relegation in 2020, were again promoted from IV liiga in 2021 and have since then competed in the Western division of III liiga.[4]
