In 2017, Calais RUFC ceased operations due to financial issues.^[2] Among the successor clubs in the city were Calais FC Hauts-de-France and Grand Calais Pascal FC.^[3] In 2023, the two clubs merged to create a new club called Racing Club Calais.^[4] The first team would start in the Régional 1, the sixth tier of French football, where Grand Calais Pascal FC had been playing prior to the merger.^[5][6]

On 18 November 2023, in the seventh round of the 2023–24 Coupe de France, Calais secured a 2–1 victory over ESC Longueau thanks to stoppage time goals from Claudio Beauvue and Axel Prohouly, setting up a match against Ligue 2 side Caen in the following round.^[7] In the match on 9 December, Calais took the lead in the eleventh minute thanks to a goal from Redwan Aboukassem, but were unable to hold the result, with Caen scoring four goals in the second half, including three after the 80th minute, to win 4–1.^[8] At the end of the 2023–24 Régional 1 season, Calais finished first in Group C, advancing to the promotion play-offs against the other group winners.
