The club was created on 22 July 1904 by a committee of the gymnastics from Switzerland who had existed in Marseille for nearly twenty years.

In the final, the club won against CA Paris (3–2),[1] giving the strange spectacle of ten Swiss and an Englishman becoming champions of France.

Given the large number of foreigners who made up the team, they were not allowed to participate in the Trophée de France, which brings together the champions of the various federations.

[2][3] The club intended to acquire land in the place of the now Stade Velodrome thanks to a raffle where the ticket was hidden by one of the organizers.

The 1929 crisis considerably weakened the Swiss community living in Marseille and led to the final dissolution of the club in 1932.
