History
[edit]The club was established during the First World War in 1917 by pupils from the local teacher training college as part of a multi sports club called Club Sportif Alençonnais (CS Alençon).[1] It spent the vast majority of its early decades navigating regional French amateur football leagues. In 1990 the club left the multi sports club and operated as Football Club Alençonnais.[2]
Following a dissolution and restructure, the club officially took on its modern identity, Union Sportive Alençonnaise, in 1994.
The club has consistently competed in the Championnat National 3 (the fifth tier of the French football league system).

The stadium became owned City of Alençon by virtue of a resolution of the municipal council in 1980.[6]
