History
editSporting Club de Feignies was founded in 1951.[citation needed]
Feignies had a run of promotions in the first decade of the 21st century. As recently as 1999, they were playing in regional divisions at the ninth tier of French football, rising to the fourth tier of the French leagues, the Championnat de France Amateurs in 2005, where they played one season.[2]
In the summer of 2016 SC Feignies merged with neighbouring side AS Aulnoye-Aymeries, who were relegated from CFA 2 at the end of the 2015–16 season, to form the current club.[3]
In the round of 64 of the 2021–22 Coupe de France, Feignies Aulnoye met Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.[4] The match, played at the Stade du Hainaut in Valenciennes, ended in a 3–0 victory for the Parisians.[5]
