Yverdon-Sport FC is a Swiss football club based in Yverdon-les-Bains that is set to compete in the Challenge League, the second tier of Swiss football, after being relegated from the top-tier Swiss Super League in the 2024–25 season. The club plays its home matches at the Stade Municipal.
History
The club Yverdon-Sport came about in 1948, due to the merger of FC Yverdon (originally founded in 1897), (agreed at the AGM of 20 July 1948) of FC Concordia (agreed at the AGM of 14 July 1948) and of White Star (agreed at the AGM of 14 July 1948) on the basis of a merger project that was drawn up by a Study Committee that was formed by the authorized delegates of the three clubs on Saturday, 10 July 1948.
Yverdon-Sport played in the Swiss Super League following promotions in 1993, 1995, 2005 and 2023. In 1996 and 2024 they avoided immediate relegation out of the league.[1] The club reached the final of the 2000–01 Swiss Cup but finished as runners-up after losing 3–0 to Servette.[2] In July 2017, after winning promotion to the third-tier Swiss Promotion League, the club signed former France international striker Djibril Cissé.[3]
On 23 May 2023, Yverdon-Sport secured promotion to the Super League, after drawing against FC Aarau 1–1, thus returning to the top tier for the first time since 2005–06.[4] The 2023–24 season was their fifth season in the highest Swiss football league.[1] Three days later, Yverdon-Sport were crowned champions of the 2022–23 Swiss Challenge League after defeating FC Wil 2–0 on the last matchday.[5]
On 22 May 2025, Yverdon Sport has been secured relegation to Challenge League from next season. On the final matchday, even a 3–2 win against FC Zurich was not enough. After relegation, the Vaud players are finding it hard to find words.
Stadium
Yverdon-Sport began the 2023–24 season at the Stade de la Maladière in Neuchatel, while two months of reconstruction work was carried out at Stade Municipal. In September 2023 they returned to their home stadium, Stade Municipal.[6]
