Saint-Denis Saint-Leu FC was a French football club founded in the summer of 1996, following the merger of FC Saint-Leu (which played in the National) with US Saint-Denis, a club from the Division d'honneur. The goal of the merger was to create a "large suburban club with European ambition", [1] capable of occupying the brand new Stade de France in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris.

Dominique Rocheteau was the general manager. The club applied in March 1998 to become the resident club. [1] At the end of the 1997–1998 season, after only three seasons of existence and due to financial difficulties, the club was administratively relegated to the CFA (Championnat de France amateur).
