League affiliation and achievements

After the footballers from Poissy only fought for points against other women's teams from the capital region in the first few years , they made their first national appearance in the 1983/84 season , when they not only qualified for the preliminary round of the French women's championship, which at the time was still in the finals mode could, but even advanced into the group of the 24 best women. They were able to repeat this regularly in the following seasons. 1987 began Poissy's strongest period: her wives reached the round of the last four remaining teams for four seasons in a row. They failed three times in the semi-finals - successively at FCF Hénin-Beaumont , CS Saint-Brieuc and FC Lyon  - but once ( 1990 ) they even made it into the final. In it, however, they were defeated by the players of the VGA Saint-Maur , who dominated French women's football in the 1980s, with 0: 3 and had to be satisfied with the runner-up.

When a nationwide, uniform league, the Championnat National 1 A , was created in 1992 , the JS Poissy was one of the twelve teams that had been accepted into it. She achieved her best placement in the second year with a sixth place in the final table. After that, however, the problem that it was difficult to get enough young girls interested in organized football in the city of 35,000 had an increasingly negative impact on the JSP. The French football association FFF twice withdrew points from the women's league because of their lack of youth infrastructure, and at the end of the 1995/96 season they were relegated to the second division, from which the team never returned to the French elite league until it was dissolved.
