Founded in 1904 by sports-loving high school students under the name Véloce Sport and officially registered as Stade Quimpérois in 1905, it became champion of Lower Brittany in 1914. Between the world wars, the Stade Kerhuel was established , which remained the home of the club until 1970, which won several (amateur) champions of the Ligue de l'Ouest (1924, 1926, 1928, 1933, 1938, 1949, 1962) and the cup competition for won the Coupe de l'Ouest (1924, 1928, 1933, 1938, 1959). In 1926 and 1928 he even reached the round of the best 32 teams in the national cup . After the introduction of professionalism in France (1932), Quimper remained in the amateur camp until 1970; from then on the Bretons belonged to Division 2 for around two decades, only interrupted for three seasons . The greatest success to date also fell in this era: In the Coupe de France 1987/88, the club, renamed in Quimper Cornouaille FC - the Cornouaille is the area surrounding the city - marched, among other things, after a 4-1 victory over Stade Rennes to in the quarter-finals, where FC Metz was defeated 1-0 in the first leg. In the second leg, however, the eventual cup winners retained the upper hand 5-0. During the 1989/90 season, the club had to file for bankruptcy, which was followed by an immediate re-establishment as Stade Quimpérois 2000 (renamed at the beginning of the 21st century). Since then, the team has been commuting between the third division and the sixth division d'Honneur . From 2008 he called himself Quimper Cornouaille FC again and since its merger with the Étoile Sportive de Kerfeunteun (2011) it bears its current name.
