Prior to the 2012-2013 season, the team withdrew from play in Úrvalsdeild kvenna after five of its most experienced players left the team during the summer. In January 2017, the board of KA declared that it intended to break the cooperation between the clubs in handball and women's football. The clubs had been sending a joint team in men's and women's handball called Akureyri Handboltafélag and KA/Þór, and in women's football under the name Þór/KA. In the end, KA reversed on its decision regarding the women's teams but withdrew from the cooperation of the men´s handball team. The football team, Þór/KA went on to win the 2017 national championship while the handball team, KA/Þór, won the second-tier 1. deild kvenna in 2018 and gained promotion to Úrvalsdeild kvenna.
On 6 September 2020, KA/Þór won the Super Cup by beating Fram 30-23. In May 2021, the team posted the best record in the Úrvalsdeild for the first time. On 6 June 2021, the team won its first national championship after beating Valur in the Úrvalsdeild finals.
