NicknamedLes Maynats, Pau FC traces its origins tae the patronage o theBleuets de Notre-Dame, officially foonded in 1920 in the Mayolis district. By the onset o the 1958-59 season, the Bleuets had risen tae the heichest amateur division in the French football league system, leadin religious authorities tae acknawledge its sportin prowess, surpassin that o a mere local fitbaa club.

Hooever, recurrent financial troubles weakend the club, necessitatin interventions frae the municipal authorities o Pau. Consequently, FC Pau endured relegation woes, droppin back tae the regional South West League. Despite management's aspirations, professional status eluded them.

Financial restructuring ensued, stabilisin the club in the third tier until 2007. Hooever, subsequent relegation compounded by non-sportin crises, delayed their return tae the third division until the 2016–17 season.
In 2019, markin 59 years since its inception, Pau FC celebrated the openin o its inaugural stadium,Nouste Camp.
