History

Perspective
The club was founded in 1979 under the name Association de Soccer de Hull.[1] Their home field is located at the Mont-Bleu Sports Complex.[2]
In 2013, the club joined the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, fielding a team in the men's division.[3] In 2014, Gatineau won the League Cup, defeating CS Longueuil 1-0 in the final.[4] They finished as the runner-up for the League Cup for three consecutive seasons in 2016, 2017, and 2018.[5][6] After a strong 2018 season in which they finished third in the league, they had a disastrous 2019 season, finishing in last place and failing to record a single victory.[7] They left the PLSQ after the 2019 season, after being unable to meet the financial requirements of the league.[8] They instead decided to join the Ontario-based Ottawa-Carlton Soccer League.[9]
In 2016, they became a partner club of the Montreal Impact and in 2017, control of FC Gatineau was transferred from the Outaouais Regional Soccer Association to local club AS Hull (now renamed FC Gatineau as a whole).[1] In 2017, the club played a friendly against the Haiti U20 national team.[10][11] In 2020, a potential merger between FC Gatineau and CS Aylmer was in the works.[12]
In March 2025, the club became an affiliate club of Canadian Premier League side Atlético Ottawa.[13]
