History

Founded in 1904 by soldiers, the Racing Club Franc-Comtois Besançon, an omnisports club joined the USFSA. The football section was created in 1905. After having signed some good performances before the Great War (Eastern Champion 1909, 10, 11 and 12), the club was slowed down by hostilities.

Following the 2021–22 season, Racing Besançon was promoted to Championnat National 2 after an eight years absence.
