History

The club was formed in 1952 through a merger of two local teams, Amical de Croix and Celtic de Croix, and played in the Nord district divisions of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Ligue. Between 2006 and 2009 the club won four successive promotions, from the top district division (1er Division) to the top division of the Nord-Pas-de Calais Ligue (Division d'Honneur, the sixth level of football in France).

In 2011 the club won a league and cup double, finishing at the top of the Division d'Honneur, and winning the Nord Pas-de-Calais League Cup, gaining promotion to the Championnat de France Amateur 2 for the 2012–13 season. [1]

In November 2012, the club merged with another local club, Stade de Croix. The following season, the club finished top of group B of CFA2, gaining promotion to CFA, and were overall champions of the division. In the 2015–16 season the club finished in 2nd place in CFA Group A, the highest league finishing position it has achieved to date.
