History
The club was originally founded in 1963 as Club Sportif des Frères Molinais (English: Sporting Club of the Brothers of Molina) as the outfit of a local multi-sports club in the southeastern quadrant of the city. It originally played in the semiprofessional Ligue 1 Porte Nouvelle and participated in the league from its founding in 1963 until 1985, when the league was disbanded along with the club's addition into the current Gregahouvian Premyer Liga. Despite entering the Premyer Liga in 1985, the club spent most of the 1980s and early 1990s in the second tier of Gregahouvian association football, the Toroy Liga. However, the team was again promoted to the top flight in 1991 and has remained in the Premyer Liga since.
Since the club's entrance into the Gregahouvian football system, Les Frères Molina has won four Premyer Liga titles in addition to a single Toroy Liga title, most recently winning the top flight in 2009. It is the most successful Nouvelais Premyer Liga club of all time.
