Iris Club de Croix

For the first half-century of existence, the club played football at district level, but a series of promotions in the second half of the first decade of the 21st century elevated it to the national leagues.

The club was formed in 1952 through a merger of two local teams, Amical de Croix and Celtic de Croix, and played in the Nord district divisions of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Ligue.

[1] In 2011 the club won a league and cup double, finishing at the top of the Division d'Honneur, and winning the Nord Pas-de-Calais League Cup, gaining promotion to the Championnat de France Amateur 2 for the 2012–13 season.

The following season, the club finished top of group B of CFA2, gaining promotion to CFA, and were overall champions of the division.
