History
The club was established during the First World War in 1917 by pupils from the local teacher training college as part of a multi sports club called Club Sportif Alençonnais (CS Alençon).[1] It spent the vast majority of its early decades navigating regional French amateur football leagues. In 1990 the club left the multi sports club and operated as Football Club Alençonnais.[2]
Following a dissolution and restructure, the club officially took on its modern identity, Union Sportive Alençonnaise, in 1994.
The club has consistently competed in the Championnat National 3 (the fifth tier of the French football league system).

Home ground
The club play their home games in Stade Jacques Fould.[4]
The stadium was inaugurated in May 1947.[5] In 1949 the ground was named after Jacques ACHILLE-FOULD, former president of the Club Sportif Alençonnais who purchased the land in 1929 and was also a former mayor of Condé-sur-Sarthe.[6][7]
The stadium became owned City of Alençon by virtue of a resolution of the municipal council in 1980.[6]
The stadium currently has a capacity for 4,000 spectators, consisting of a 1,500 seated stand and standing room for a further 2,500.[8]
