FC Infonet, an Estonian football club based in Lasnamäe, Tallinn, was founded in 2002. The club quickly made its mark in the Estonian football scene, merging with Esiliiga club FC Atletik before the 2011 season. This strategic move aimed to bolster their competitive edge, and they finished the 2011 season in second place, narrowly missing promotion after losing in the play-offs to Kuressaare.

Infonet also made their European debut in the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League, although they were eliminated by Heart of Midlothian. Following the 2017 season, the club announced a merger with Levadia, which led to their automatic relegation to the II liiga.
