History and mergers

The club was founded in 1924 as L'Union Sportive de Wasquehal. It was known as Entente Sportive de Wasquehal in 1945, when it merged with L'Association Sportive de Wasquehal (founded in 1931). In 2017, it merged further with Wasquehal Futsal Club and took on the current name.

The club held professional status between 1997 and 2004, playing in Ligue 2 from 1997 until 2003.
