FC Sète 34 is a French football club based in Sète and founded in 1900. The club won the French league twice (in 1934 and 1939) and the French cup also twice (1930 and 1934). In 1934 they became the first club to win the French league and cup double. At the time, they were using the Georges-Bayrou Stadium.[1] Up to 1960, the club was playing a major role in French football championship. But due to financial issues, FC Sète 34 was forced to give up professional status. From the 70's to 2005, the club played in secondary levels, before accessing Ligue 2 after finishing at the 3rd rank of Championnat National.
In 2006, it finished in last place in Ligue 2 and was relegated to Championnat National. On 24 July 2009 the club were demoted to the sixth tier of the French football league system, the Division d'Honneur.[2]
After three years in Division d'Honneur, FC Sète 34 was promoted to CFA2, the French 5th division. During the 2013–2014 season, the club occupied the first position of the championship for the entire year. It was then promoted to CFA, the French 4th division, for the 2014–2015 year. The first team is currently coached by Laurent Scala.
