Yverdon-Sport FC is a Swiss football club based in Yverdon-les-Bains that competes in the Challenge League, the second tier of Swiss football. The club plays its home matches at the Stade Municipal.
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. The club reached the final of the 2000âÂÂ01 Swiss Cup but finished as runners-up after losing 3âÂÂ0 to Servette. In July 2017, after winning promotion to the third-tier Swiss Promotion League, the club signed former France international striker Djibril Cissé.
On 23 May 2023, Yverdon-Sport secured promotion to the Super League, after drawing against FC Aarau 1âÂÂ1, thus returning to the top tier for the first time since 2005âÂÂ06. The 2023âÂÂ24 season was their fifth season in the highest Swiss football league. Three days later, Yverdon-Sport were crowned champions of the 2022âÂÂ23 Swiss Challenge League after defeating FC Wil 2âÂÂ0 on the last matchday.
On 22 May 2025, Yverdon Sport was relegated to the Challenge League. On the final matchday, even a 3âÂÂ2 win against FC Zurich was not enough.
