They played in the Super Ligue (then called the Championnat national de première division) from 2007 to 2011. They came in third place in the 2006-2007 season of the Premier League before encountering a series of rough seasons.[1]
In 2008[2] and 2009,[3] Malbaza survived the relegation playoff to remain in the top division. They finished middle of the table in the 2010 season,[4] but in the 2010-2011 season, they played only half the season before forfeiting the rest of their games and being removed from the league.[5]
