Joseph Gemain founded the club, with Émile Sinoir its first president, and the kit went from red and black to green and white in 1903, then to bright orange in September 1923. They reached the Division d'Honneur by 1931, French football's sixth tier, and winning it in 1964 took them into the Championnat de France amateur. Promotion to the top division in 1976 made them professional for the first time, a fifth-place finish earned a UEFA Cup place in 1983, and relegation in 1989 ended 13 years among the elite. They won the Championnat National in 2021–22 to reach Ligue 2.
