In 2002 the club ran into financial problems and went bankrupt. The newly founded AC Allianssi got the starting place in the Veikkausliiga . The second team from Atlantis FC, the so-called Atlantis Akatemia, was able to continue to play in the third division and changed its name to Atlantis FC in 2003.
