==History==
[[File:AC Oulu - FC Hämeenlinna 11.10.2009.JPG|thumb|AC Oulu – [[FC Hämeenlinna]] in [[Castrén (stadium)|Castrén Stadium]], Oulu, on 11 October 2009]]

===Early years; 2002–2010 and the first promotions===
AC Oulu was founded in 2002 as a joint initiative of four local clubs, [[Oulun Luistinseura]] (OLS), [[Oulun Palloseura (football)|Oulun Palloseura]] (OPS), [[Oulun Työväen Palloilijat]] (OTP) and [[Tervarit]], with the aim of bringing top level football back to Oulu. [[FC Oulu]] played in the [[Veikkausliiga]] in the early '90s as the most recent team from Oulu to play top-tier Finnish football. The club inherited the league license of Tervarit in the second-tier [[Ykkönen]] for the 2003 season.

After four seasons in Ykkönen, AC Oulu reached the Finland's premier division Veikkausliiga in 2007. However, they were relegated back to the [[Ykkönen]] at the end of their first season in the top division. After two seasons in the second tier AC Oulu won promotion again to the Veikkausliiga at the end of the 2009 season after finishing top of the [[Ykkönen]].

Having finished 11th in 2010 season the club were initially going to continue in the Veikkausliiga for the 2011 season. However, they were denied a league licence for financial reasons and therefore dropped down to the [[Ykkönen]].

==="Eternal Ykkönen"; 2011–2020===
Since the relegation for financial reasons in 2010, AC Oulu played in Ykkönen for ten years, where it was considered as a candidate to promote for a long time. During 2009–2014, the former [[Finland national football team|Finland national team]] winger [[Mika Nurmela]] played for the club, and simultaneously worked as a [[sporting director]] in AC Oulu. [[Dritan Stafsula]] had returned to the club in 2011 and represented AC Oulu until 2015, having established himself the club's top goal scorer with 54 goals. During 2016–2018, the former national team defender [[Markus Heikkinen]] played for the club as a player-coach. Since 2017, he has also been working as a sporting director for the club. In 2018, Tomi Kaismo and his investment company ''OTC-Sijoitus Oy'', became the biggest shareholder of the club.<ref>[https://www.kaleva.fi/ac-oulun-paaomistaja-tomi-kaismo-kertoo-nyt-miten-/5455960 AC Oulun pääomistaja Tomi Kaismo kertoo nyt, miten hän suhtautuu seuran jättitappioihin – "Aion olla pitkään mukana"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231123184517/https://www.kaleva.fi/ac-oulun-paaomistaja-tomi-kaismo-kertoo-nyt-miten-/5455960 |date=23 November 2023 }}, [[Kaleva (newspaper)|Kaleva]], Kai Nevala, 4 April 2023</ref><ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/kaismo-jatkaa-ac-oulun-hallituksen-puheenjohtajana KAISMO JATKAA AC OULUN HALLITUKSEN PUHEENJOHTAJANA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214193654/https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/kaismo-jatkaa-ac-oulun-hallituksen-puheenjohtajana |date=14 February 2024 }}, acoulu.fi, 19 April 2023</ref> The club managed to create stability to their economy during those years, and finally won Ykkönen in the 2020 season with head coach [[Jyrki Ahola]], gaining a promotion back to [[Veikkausliiga]] for the [[2021 Veikkausliiga|2021 season]], previous time being in 2010.<ref>[https://www.is.fi/veikkausliiga/art-2000007955377.html AC Oulun korpivaellus kesti tolkuttoman kauan, mutta nyt se on ohi – tähtipuolustaja avoimena: ”Tämä on ollut unelma koko ajan”] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231123184518/https://www.is.fi/veikkausliiga/art-2000007955377.html |date=23 November 2023 }}, [[Ilta-Sanomat]], Jarmo Korhonen, 3 May 2021</ref>

In the [[2022 Veikkausliiga|2022 season]], the club  finished in the 7th place, after having narrowly missed the top-6 championship group in the league. AC Oulu established its place in the league, after having mostly played in the second-tier Ykkönen since its foundation in 2002.

In the early 2023, AC Oulu reached to the final of the pre-season [[Finnish League Cup]] tournament, after winning [[FC Inter Turku|Inter Turku]] on penalties in the semi-final. They eventually fell short to [[Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi|HJK]] in the final, losing the game 2–1.<ref>[https://www.veikkausliiga.com/uutiset/2023/03/31/sami-hyypia-trophy-jaossa-lauantaina-liigacup-2023-huipentuu-finaaliin Sami Hyypiä Trophy jaossa lauantaina – Liigacup 2023 huipentuu finaaliin] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231123191723/https://www.veikkausliiga.com/uutiset/2023/03/31/sami-hyypia-trophy-jaossa-lauantaina-liigacup-2023-huipentuu-finaaliin |date=23 November 2023 }}, [[Veikkausliiga]], 31 March 2023</ref> Before the league season started, the club sold its own local protégé [[Miika Koskela]] to Norwegian club [[Tromsø IL]], and in the summer transfer window [[Otso Liimatta]] was sold to Portuguese [[Primeira Liga]] club [[FC Famalicão]].

After the club had turned 20 years of age in 2022, AC Oulu started the documentary project with a local production studio Feeniks Visual, to highlight the early years when the club was formed starting in 2002. The one-hour long documentary film was first published in the late June 2023 exclusively,<ref>[https://www.kaleva.fi/ac-oulun-tililla-oli-pahimmillaan-10-euroa-ja-lask/5656996 AC Oulun tilillä oli pahimmillaan 10 euroa ja laskuja neljännesmiljoonan edestä – Katso seuran koruttoman rehellinen 20-vuotisjuhladokumentti tästä], [[Kaleva (newspaper)|Kaleva]], 28 June 2023</ref> and later in April 2024 for the public.<ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/ac-oulun-20-vuotis-dokumentti-on-julkaistu AC OULUN 20-VUOTIS DOKUMENTTI ON JULKAISTU], acoulu.fi, 26 April 2024</ref>

====2024====
For the [[2024 Veikkausliiga|2024 season]], the club acquired [[Tuomas Silvennoinen]] the new head coach. Due to his lack of the required UEFA Pro coaching license, he was officially named the associate head coach in the coaching staff with Rauno Ojanen and Mikko Viitsalo. The budget for the new season was increased also. In April, it was announced that Hanna Väänänen would step aside from the club's CEO position and later Jani Kotikangas took the charge as the new CEO.<ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/jani-kotikangas-on-ac-oulun-uusi-toimitusjohtaja JANI KOTIKANGAS ON AC OULUN UUSI TOIMITUSJOHTAJA], acoulu.fi, 4 June 2024</ref> The team started the season poorly, and eventually the whole coaching staff was fired on 13 June 2024, after 11 league matches, with a record of one win, five draws and five losses. The reserve team coaches [[Mikko Isokangas]] and [[Rafinha (footballer, born 1982)|Rafinha]] were named the caretaker coaches of the first team, leading the team to advance in the [[Finnish Cup]] with a win against [[Käpylän Pallo|KäPa]], and drawing with [[Vaasan Palloseura|VPS]] in the league. On 20 June 2024, a former [[Volos F.C.|Volos]] head coach [[Kostas Bratsos]] was named the manager of AC Oulu.<ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/ac-oulun-uusi-paavalmentaja-on-valittu AC OULUN UUSI PÄÄVALMENTAJA ON VALITTU], acoulu.fi, 20 June 2024</ref> The team reached the quarter-finals of the [[2024 Finnish Cup|2024 Suomen Cup]], but was knocked out by [[Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho|SJK]] 2–0 in the early July in the [[OmaSP Stadion]] in [[Seinäjoki]]. On 2 September, after Bratsos had received his third consecutive red card of the season in his 10th league match, he and his whole coaching staff were fired, and the reserve team coaches Isokangas and Rafinha were appointed the interim managers again for the rest of the season. At the time of their departure, the club was sitting in the 9th place of the Veikkausliiga table, just above the relegation play-offs line. Eventually, they finished their disappointing and messed-up season in the 9th place of the table. After the season, Isokangas was officially named the new manager. Later the team's number one striker [[Ashley Coffey]] announced he would depart from Oulu. During two seasons he spent with the club, he scored 36 goals in 65 official appearances.

In the beginning of 2025, it was announced that the club had acquired local basketball team [[:fi:Oulu Basketball|Oulun NMKY]]<ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/ac-oulu-mukana-mahdollistamassa-huippukoriksen-oulussa AC OULU MUKANA MAHDOLLISTAMASSA HUIPPUKORIKSEN OULUSSA], acoulu.fi, 21 January 2025</ref> and volleyball team Oulun Kisko,<ref>[https://acoulu.fi/uutiset/ac-oulu-lahtee-viemaan-oululaista-lentopalloa-kohti-huippua AC OULU LÄHTEE VIEMÄÄN OULULAISTA LENTOPALLOA KOHTI HUIPPUA], acoulu.fi, 12 February 2025</ref> with the aim to establish AC Oulu as a new multi-sport club.<ref>[https://www.kaleva.fi/ouluun-syntyy-kolmen-palloilulajin-suurseura-ac-ou/11515228 Ouluun syntyy kolmen palloilulajin suurseura – AC Oulu tavoittelee liigamenestystä jokaisessa], [[Kaleva (newspaper)|Kaleva]], 12 February 2025</ref>
