The team was founded in 1928 in a merger between Football Club de Roubaix and Excelsior Club de Tourcoing. In 1932, the team turned professional and played the first professional football season in1932/1933 and won the same year its first major trophy, theCoupe de France. Till the World War II, the team managed to stay inDivision 1. After the war, the club merged withRC Roubaix andUS Tourcoing inCO Roubaix-Tourcoing (1945–1970).
