Football Club des Sports Réunis Obernai is a French football club based in Obernai, Bas-Rhin. It was founded in 1919. The club currently plays in the Division d'Honneur, the sixth tier of the French football league system, after being relegated from the Championnat de France Amateurs 2 Group B in the 2007-08 season, when they finished bottom of their group.
History
The club was founded in 1919 under the name GSO Obernai. The club soon changed its name to FC Obernai, and this was the name of the club until 1945, when the current name was adopted. Currently, the club has almost 300 players in 15 teams in seven age groups, from under-7s to the senior team. The club has access to 3 grass pitches and a training ground. In 2006, a synthetic pitch was laid at the Stade Municipal, the only one of its kind in the area.
For the whole of its existence, the club's senior team has been confined to playing in regional leagues, with their highest ever league venture was in the 2007-08 season, when they were promoted to the Championnat de France Amateurs 2, the fifth tier of the French football league system. However, their CFA2 status lasted just one season, as they finished bottom of their group by 12 points, and were promptly relegated back to the Division d'Honneur.
