One of Korsvoll Fotball's most memorable moment came in the 2007 Norwegian Football Cup. Korsvoll was down by 2 goals late in the second half. But a late freekick goal and an injury time goal scored on a corner by Korsvoll's goalkeeper Stian Straume sent the game into extra time. However Alanzinho scored three goals and Korsvoll lost the game 2-5 a.e.t.

Their home field is "Korsvollbanen". Korsvollbanen is located in Åmotveien.

Korsvoll IL's supporter club was founded in 2005. The name is "Gladlaksene".
