History
Sport Club Forbach was founded on 25 August 1909 through the merger of three clubs; FC Phönix, FC Triumph and FC Hansa. On 23 April 1919 it changed its name to Union Sportive de Forbach Football.
In 1957 the club turned professional under sporting director Jean Gauche. In their first season in Ligue 2 they won their first six games, and ended up missing promotion to Ligue 1 by a point. In 1960 the club had their best run in the Coupe de France, reaching the 1/8th final round, before being defeated in extra time by AS Monaco. In 1967, with crowds dwindling, the club were forced to give up their professional status and return to amateur football.[1]
Since 1968 the club have played their football mainly between the lower end of the national amateur competition (currently National 3) and the Division d'Honneur of Lorraine. Most recently, the club were promoted to CFA 2 in 2010, relegated in 2014, promoted again in 2015 and relegated again in 2017.
