Périgueux Foot is a football club located in Périgueux, France. The team plays in the Départemental 2, the tenth tier of French football.[1] The club's colours are red and white.
In 1978, FC Fossemagne, who were at the time playing in the Division d'Honneur, merged with US Gour de l'Arche to create FC Périgueux. The club entered the newly-created Division 4 in its first season in existence. From 1979 to 1990, the club went up and down between the Division 3 and the Division 4. However, in 1990, the club suffered relegation to the Division d'Honneur, returning to regional level football. The same year, the club was renamed to RC Périgueux. Périgueux has played at a regional level ever since. In 1998, a merger with meant that the club now became Périgueux Foot.
The club's best-ever performance in the Coupe de France was in the 1986–87 edition, when the club reached the round of 16.[2]
