History
The club was founded in 1903 under the name AS Le Puy. Since its foundation, the club has changed its name numerous times and has undergone several mergers. In 1974, the club changed its name to CO Le Puy and, 17 years later, changed its name to SCO Le Puy. The following year, the club changed its name to USF Le Puy.
In 2009, USF Le Puy merged with another local club, AS Taulhac, to form the club that exists today.[3] Despite being an amateur club today, CO Le Puy did have a stint in the professional division of Ligue 2 spending five seasons in the league from 1984 to 1989.
In the 2023-24 Coupe de France, Le Puy Foot 43 made it to the cup quarter-final for the first time after beating 2023-24 Ligue 2 side Stade Lavallois 2-1.[4] However, in the quarter-final, Le Puy lost to 2023-24 Ligue 1 side, Stade Rennais 1-3.[5]
On 3 May 2025, Le Puy secured promotion to Championnat National from the 2025-26 season after defeating GOAL FC 0-6 in match week 28 of Championnat National 2 Group A.
