Football Club Libourne, formerly known as AS Libourne or Libourne Saint-Seurin-sur-L'Isle, is a French football team from the town of Libourne in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The club plays in the Championnat National 2, the fourth tier of French football.[1]
History
The club was founded by Georges Kany in 1935 as Football Club Libourne. The club then became
AS Saint-Seurin and became Football Club de Libourne Saint-Seurin-sur-L'Isle. However, in October 2009, this merger was undone: AS Libourne returned to its old name of Football Club Libourne and AS Saint-Seurin disappeared.[1]
The club, nicknamed the penguins, were promoted to
DH Ligue d'Aquitaine for the 2013–14 season.[1]
Since then, the club has twice won promotion to the Championnat National 3, in 2017 and 2020.[2] In 2023 they were promoted back to the fourth tier.[3]
