[edit]

The club was founded as Club Sportif Bergusien in 1936. In 1946, the club was renamed to Club Sportif Ouvrier. In 1957, FCBJ became affiliated to the French Football Federation.[3]

In 1996, Bourgoin-Jallieu signed a partnership deal with Division 1 club Monaco. The same year, the club faced off against Martigues in the Coupe de France, who were then playing in the Division 2.[3] In 1998, the club was promoted to the Division d'Honneur. In 2000, the club agreed to a partnership with first-tier Lens.[3]

In 2004, after having achieved promotion the Championnat de France Amateur 2 (CFA 2) following a playoff match against Ajaccio B, the authorities decided to relegate Bourgoin-Jallieu back to the regional divisions.[3] In 2010, the club signed a partnership with first-tier Lyon.[3] In the 2012–13 season, FCBJ won the Coupe Rhône-Alpes and promotion to the CFA 2.[3]

The club was promoted to Championnat National 2 for the first time at the end of the 2022–23 Championnat National 3 season.[4]

On 15 January 2025, Bourgoin-Jallieu eliminated Ligue 1 club Lyon in the Coupe de France round of 32 thanks to a 4–2 victory on penalties after a 2–2 draw in regular time.[5]
