The club was originally formed in 1966 under the name l’Association sportive Monteuil de Laval.[1]

In 2018, they entered a team in the women's division of the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.[2] In 2019, the women won the league, earning 33 points through 15 games to come in first place.[3] In 2021, the club finished in second place in both the league season and the league cup.[4]

In 2019, a year after the women's team, the club entered a team in the men's division the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, [5] with Sandro Grande becoming the men's head coach.[6] They played their first match on May 4 against FC Gatineau winning 3–2.[7] They finished in sixth place out of nine teams in their inaugural season[8] In 2020, Antoine Katako, formerly the coach of CS Fabrose took over as head coach, replacing interim coach David Cerasuolo,[9] who took over following the departure of head coach Sandro Grande[10] as well as technical director Marco Masucci late in the season, who took a position with the Quebec Soccer Federation.[11]

AS Laval

[edit]

In late 2021, CS Monteuil merged with CS Étoiles de l’Est to form a new club in later 2021 known as AS Laval (initially a third club, CS Centre-Sud, was to be part of the merger, but they later pulled out).[12][13][14] In 2022, the women's team finished second in the league, qualifying them for the inaugural League1 Canada Interprovincial Championship, where they finished in second place, after defeating League1 Ontario side Alliance United FC in a penalty shootout in the semi-finals,[15] before losing to PLSQ champions AS Blainville in the finals.[16]
