As of the 2023–24 season, it competes in Ligue 2, having achieved promotion from the Championnat National in the 2022–23 season. The club colours are white and blue, and home matches are played at the Stade Marcel-Tribut.

History

The club was founded in 1909 and have never played in a higher division than Ligue 2. They have once made it to the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, in 1929, and the quarter-finals four times in 1930, 1937, 1968 and 1971.^{[citation needed]}

The club was promoted to Ligue 2 in 2020, when the 2019–20 Championnat National season ended prematurely, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dunkerque were second in the table at the time, and were promoted by the FFF executive committee.^[3] The club was relegated back to the Championnat National at the conclusion of the 2021–22 Ligue 2 season, spending two seasons in the second tier.^[4] On 26 May 2023, the club defeated Le Mans FC 2–3 at the MM Arena. This assured second place in the table and secured promotion to Ligue 2 for the 2023–24 season after a one-year absence.
