history

The club was founded in 1919 as Association Sportive Sarreguemines . They started playing for the 1919/20 season and played in the Division d'Honneur ; they were assigned to the Saar group. Their opponents there were among others SS Merlebach (today SO Merlebach ), SR Sarrebourg , CS Stiring-Wendel and SSR Petite-Rosselle . During the Second World War and the associated occupation of France, the ASS (renamed TSG Saargemünd ) was incorporated into German gaming operations and played in the Gauliga Westmark from 1941 to 1944 .

After the war, the renamed AS Sarreguemines appeared in French football only rarely nationwide. In 1982 the team finally won the championship in the fifth division under the German coach Emil Poklitar , whereby the club from Lorraine rose to fourth division. Four years later she also rose to Division 3 , the third division of France, for the first time. At the end of the season, however, they only finished 15th in the table with 22 points, which was synonymous with direct relegation. As runner-up in Division 4 , today's CFA , the Lorraine team rose again in 1988 to Division 3. In the 1988/89 season they were able to stay in league by finishing tenth in the table with 28 points. The following year they finished sixth with 30 points. In the 1990/91 season you had to relegate as bottom of the table again. In Division 4, the club occupied only sixth place in the table in the 1991/92 season, with which the direct re-promotion was missed. A year later, the club from the border town even rose from bottom of the table. In 2013, AS Sarreguemines rose as leaders of the Lorraine relay in the DH back to the CFA2. On July 1, 2013, the club was renamed Sarreguemines Football Club - Sarreguemines FC for short. In the first season in the fifth division after being promoted again after decades of abstinence, FC Sarreguemines managed to stay in league with a fifth place in the table.

In the national cup competition , AS Sarreguemines reached the main round twice in the mid-1980s, in 1983/84 the sixteenth finals. The club succeeded in the latter a good three decades later ( 2015/16 ) after defeating the second division Valenciennes 1-0.
