1998 with today

1998-99 : Season marked by a succession of events leading to the supreme sanction, a voluntary liquidation, on May 26th, 1999 with 9:00. Roll Diaye does not ensure the training of the team Pro, Eugene Battmann that of CFA 2 and Jacques Berthommier is destined for administratitives functions after the lay-off of Daniel Bourgeois, Liliane Bonfatti, Paulette KUCK, Lucien Gunkel and Jean Luc Fournier. The drive and manpower were disturbed at the beginning of season, because of the uncertainty which weighed on the continuation of the activity and obtaining the statute pro, but also on consecutive late recruitment with this uncertainty.

After a beginning of modest championship, far away from the objective of rise in D2, Lamine Diaye does not decide to stop its function of person in charge of team 1. Eugene Battmann succeeds in December to him, Lamine Diaye finding the Training center. In same time, President Marc Leon withdraws presidency of the SAEMS for health reasons, following a heart disease. Francis Daverio takes over temporarily the duties of this presidency.

A group of people of the association of the tradesmen of Market of Mulhouse form, in January, an abstract association “Mulhouse 2000” charged to launch a subscription near 10000 companies and starting in order to face the increasing financial problems and to prepare the FC Mulhouse of the year 2000.

Because of the catastrophic results of the team trained by Eugene Battmann (4 consecutive defeats in residence) during this countryside, the subscription is a failure.

May 20th, after hearing of President Francis Daverio, the DNCG refuses to grant, for season 1999/2000, the renewal of the statute pro.

Sportivement, the team first finishes in the 15th place on 19. The team of CFA 2, very dependant on the difficulties of team 1, made a success of a good 9th place and revealed several young hopes or less than 17 years.

In addition, team 1 was eliminated from the Coupe of the League to the 1st turn, Amiens, and of the Coupe de France, with the 7th turn, by the Paris FC.

In front of all the sporting financial problems and, and in the absence of an entity able to make up the deficit and to bring insurances for the next season, the Board of directors decides to file for bankruptcy on May 21st, 1999. Francis Daverio and Maître Roger Meyer confirmed this voluntary liquidation at the bankruptcy court, on Wednesday, May 26 with 9:00.

This act marks the end of professional football in Mulhouse, puiqu' it was requested from the court a plan of transfer.

2004-05 : The FCM disputes CFA 2 to go up in CFA. After a superb course out of cut of France until in 32e of finale (beaten by Caen in front of 8.000 spectators at the stage of It), under the direction of the trainer Damien Ott, the team, unconquered of 19th at the last day, is classified 2nd (90 points) behind the team reserves Dijon (93 points). It is then the rise, something that the club had not known any more since that of 1989 in the 1st professional division.

2006-07 : The objective of the FC Mulhouse is the rise in National. The season does not proceed as envisaged and in spite of a good start of season, the Mulhousians ensure their maintenance only at the time of the last days of the championship. During the intersaison, if the club assists with the return of its former player (of time when the FCM evolved/moved in the second division) Frederic Garny, it loses especially many major players (Moritz and Matuzik with Colmar, and especially Saghir and Benali with ASIM), which lets predict difficulties for 2007-08.
