The FC Schweighouse (officially Football Club 1920 Schweighouse-sur-Moder ) is a French football club from the municipality of Schweighouse-sur-Moder (German Schweighausen ) in the Alsatian department of Bas-Rhin .

history

The association was founded on August 24, 1920 in Schweighouse-sur-Moder, a municipality near Hagenau in Lower Alsace .

During the German occupation of France in World War II from 1940 to 1944, the football clubs from Alsace-Lorraine took part in the games of the German Reich . FC Schweighouse joined this time by its German name TuS Schweighausen and managed in 1941 to rise in the Gauliga Alsace . A ninth place at the end of the 1941/42 season led to relegation to the district class; 1943, however, succeeded in re- ascent into the Gauliga. In the 1943/44 season, Schweighausen took ninth and penultimate place. A relegation did not take place because the Gauliga was divided into two seasons for the 1944/45 season . In view of the war events in France from July 1944 onwards, games no longer took place. Since 1945 the club played again as FC Schweighouse in the Alsatian league system .

At the end of the 1966/67 season, the club rose to the highest French regional class, the Alsatian Ehrendivision ( Division d'Honneur Alsace ), to which he belonged until 1974.

In the 2019/20 season, which was prematurely canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic , FC Schweighouse played in season E of the Liga Grand Est Régional 2 , which belongs to the seventh French league level.
