History
Aubagne were created in 1989 as a result of a merger from three French clubs, L'entente Aubagnaise, SO Charrel, and Jeunesse Sportive Aubagnaise.
The club rose in 2008 to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Division D'Honneur. After two seasons at this level, the club entered the CFA 2 during the 2011–12 season.
The club finished second in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur group in the 2019-20 season, but on 9 June 2020, the Commission Régionale de Contrôle des Clubs of the Ligue de Méditerranée announced that Athlético Marseille would be administratively relegated to Régional 2 for financial irregularities. Aubagne would instead be promoted to National 2 and Gémenos were reprieved from relegation. On 8 July the appeal committee of the DNCG overturned the ruling, and represented the clubs case for approval of promotion to N2. On 15 July, the CRCC once again denied the club promotion. The club appealed again, and on 27 July 2020 the appeal committee of the DNCG confirmed the promotion.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as french football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21007975. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2008, 2011 and 2019.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
