History
editThe club's parent club before their foundation was Athletic Club de Mantes-la-Ville, who reached the CFA in 1968 and ultimately reached as far as Division 2, where they remained for four years before plunging down to the sixth division of French football. In 1994, the club merged with two other local clubs, Association sportive de Mantes and Association sportive de Buchelay to form the club that exists today.[1] After a decade at the fourth level of French football, the club was relegated to Championnat National 3 in 2020 after being positioned bottom of 2019–20 Championnat National 2 Group B when the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] They were relegated again in 2021–22, to the sixth tier, having twice being deducted points during the season.[3]
