Football Club Limonest Dardilly Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or commonly known as FC Limonest Dardilly Saint-Didier or FC Limonest is a French football club based in Limonest in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The club was founded in 1969 and since 1994 plays its games at Stade Courtois Fillot in the commune.[1]
The club has climbed steadily through the amateur divisions, winning promotion to the seventh tier in 1979 and the sixth tier in 2007.[1] In 2016, the club won promotion for the first time to the fifth tier, Championnat de France Amateur 2, after winning the final match of the season against FC Vaulx-en-Velin.[2]
In the 2018–19 Coupe de France, the club reached the Round of 64, beating fourth tier Créteil before losing 1–0 to Sète.[3] In the following year's competition they went two rounds better, beating third tier clubs Villefranche and Le Puy, eventually losing to Ligue 1 side Dijon in the Round of 16 at home, to a goal in the last minute of extra time.[4]
In July 2021, the club merged with a neighbouring club, AS Dardilly and became the FC Limonest Dardilly Saint-Didier.[5][6]
