About FC Stade Lausanne Ouchy

FC Stade Lausanne Ouchy is a Swiss professional football club based in the Ouchy district of Lausanne. The club was formed in 2000 through the merger of FC Ouchy-Olympic and FC Stade Lausanne, combining two football traditions with histories dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The merger aimed to create a stronger and more competitive club capable of progressing through the Swiss football system.

For many years, the club competed in lower divisions before steadily climbing through the national league structure. A period of rapid progress began in the 2010s, as Stade Lausanne Ouchy earned several promotions and won the Swiss Promotion League title in 2019. The team also gained attention through notable performances in domestic cup competitions and continued to strengthen its position within professional football.

The biggest achievement in the club’s history came during the 2022–23 season when Stade Lausanne Ouchy secured promotion to the Swiss Super League for the first time after winning the promotion play-off against FC Sion. Although its first season in the top division lasted only one year, the club demonstrated its ambitions and established itself as one of the fastest-rising football projects in Swiss football.
