About Yverdon-Sport FC

Yverdon-Sport FC is a Swiss football club based in Yverdon-les-Bains, founded in 1948 through the merger of several local clubs, including FC Yverdon (originally created in 1897), FC Concordia, and White Star. The new club was formed to unify football in the city and quickly became the main representative of the region. It plays its home matches at Stade Municipal and has traditionally been associated with green and white colours, reflecting its local identity.

Throughout its history, Yverdon-Sport has mostly competed in the lower and second tiers of Swiss football, but it has experienced several promotions to the top division. The club first reached the highest level in the 1990s and later returned multiple times, including the 2000s and most recently in 2023 after winning promotion from the Challenge League. One of its most notable achievements was reaching the Swiss Cup final in 2001, where it finished as runner-up.

In the modern era, the club has become known as a “yo-yo team,” frequently moving between the Super League and Challenge League. It achieved promotion again in 2023 but was relegated after the 2024–25 season, continuing its pattern of fluctuation between divisions. Despite this instability, Yverdon-Sport remains an important club in French-speaking Switzerland, recognized for its resilience, periodic successes, and strong regional identity.
