Étoile Carouge FC is a Swiss football team based in Carouge and founded in 1904. It currently plays in the Challenge League from 2024 to 2025, the second tier of Swiss football after promotion from Challenge League in 2023–24 and holding home games at Stade de la Fontenette, which seats up to 3,690 spectators.

History

Carouge had survived several seasons in the second tier of Swiss football, the Challenge League, until the 2011–12 season. Due to restructuring of the Swiss Football League, it was announced that the bottom 6 teams of the 10 team division would be relegated to a newly formed division in 2012, rather than the usual two teams being relegated. Carouge finished four points from safety and were relegated to the 1. Liga Promotion.

On 11 May 2024, Etoile Carouge secure promotion to the Challenge League from next season, following a 2–1 win over BSC Young Boys II, where they were confirmed as champions of Promotion League.[1] They return to the Swiss Football League after twelve years.
