Prior to moving to Annecy, Evian sought to play at the Stade de Genève over the Swiss border in nearby Geneva.

The club reformed in the regional leagues, and won back-to-back promotions in 2019 and 2020 to gain a place in Championnat National 3 for the 2020–21 season.

The decision resulted in club being forced to move to Stade Joseph-Moynat in Thonon, a facility with 2,700 seats and a total capacity of 6,000.

He also put money into the team to improve the youth system of the club and harboured aspirations of the side achieving promotion to Ligue 2.

After earning promotion to Ligue 2 for the 2010–11 season, Evian was rumoured to be pursuing a move to play its home matches at the Stade de la Praille in Geneva, Switzerland after it was determined that the club's current facility, the Stade Joseph-Moynat, did not meet the Ligue de Football Professionnel's (LFP) standards.

[8] However, Benoît Genecand, president of Fondation du Stade de Genève (FSG), which owned and operated the facility, disputed the claims of the Servette official.

Evian also reached the Coupe de France final for the first time in the club's history,[14] where they were beaten 3–2 by Bordeaux, falling victim to a last-minute winner by Cheick Diabaté.

The DNCG imposed an additional relegation for the subsequent season, which would place Evian in the fourth tier of the French football pyramid, the Championnat de France Amateur (CFA).

[16] On 2 August 2016 the club was placed in receivership, given a probationary period of two months to save itself, and assessed a further administrative relegation at the end of the 2016–17 season.

[17] On 9 August, the French Football Federation confirmed Evian's decision to cease operation in the CFA and it collapsed and folded.
