History
editIn 2013, the club became the women's section of Évian Thonon Gaillard Football Club.[2] Serge Garcia, president of the Ambilly club, clarified that his organization remained a completely independent entity from the men's club with its own structure, budget, and history.[3]
In 2016, Évian Thonon Gaillard went bankrupt. The women's section became fully independent again and was renamed "Croix de Savoie Football Academy." The club adopted the name and colors of Football Croix-de-Savoie 74, gaining the support of the former ultras of that club.[4]
In 2017, the club earned promotion to Division 2 after a playoff victory against Bischheim.[5] The season started poorly, with the team collecting just one point from their first 10 matches. However, a crucial win in the final match of the first half of the season against Montauban restored hope.[6] A strong second half of the campaign, including an unbeaten home record, secured the team's maintenance with a ninth-place finish in the league. The 2018–19 season saw the team finish in fifth place in Group B. The team achieved a club record with seven consecutive victories during the season.
In June 2019, the Croix de Savoie Football Academy Ambilly women's team joined Thonon Évian Football Club, the successor to the former professional club Évian Thonon Gaillard Football Club, which went bankrupt in 2016. The new entity was named "Thonon Évian Grand Genève Football Club," with the Ambilly club becoming the women's section of the newly formed club.
In March 2023, the club achieved its best result in the Coupe de France Féminine, reaching the semi-finals after defeating Marseille.[7] They were ultimately eliminated by PSG with a 1–0 loss, finishing the competition on a strong note.[8]
