History
The club was founded in 1909 and have never played in a higher division than Ligue 2. They have once made it to the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, in 1929, and the quarter-finals four times in 1930, 1937, 1968 and 1971.[]
The club was promoted to Ligue 2 in 2020, when the 2019–20 Championnat National season ended prematurely, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dunkerque were second in the table at the time, and were promoted by the FFF executive committee. The club was relegated back to the Championnat National at the conclusion of the 2021–22 Ligue 2 season, spending two seasons in the second tier. On 26 May 2023, the club defeated Le Mans FC 2–3 at the MM Arena. This assured second place in the table and secured promotion to Ligue 2 for the 2023–24 season after a one-year absence.
