'''Football Club Mantois 78''' are a French [[Association football|football]] club that was founded in 1994. The club is based in [[Mantes-la-Ville]] in the suburbs of [[Paris]] and is of the [[Yvelines]] department. The club's relatively late foundation is due to a merger between three other clubs from the region. The club is often referred to as '''FC Mantes''' due to their location, however, their common name is '''FC Mantois''' with Mantois being the natural region of the area the club inhabits.
==History== The club's parent club before their foundation was ''Athletic Club de Mantes-la-Ville'', who reached the [[Championnat de France Amateur (1935–1971)|CFA]] in 1968 and ultimately reached as far as [[Ligue 2|Division 2]], where they remained for four years before plunging down to the sixth division of [[French football]]. In 1994, the club merged with two other local clubs, ''Association sportive de [[Mantes-la-Jolie|Mantes]]'' and ''Association sportive de [[Buchelay]]'' to form the club that exists today.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fc-mantois78.com/sections/club/histoire-du-club |title=Histoire du Club |access-date=11 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090717013456/http://www.fc-mantois78.com/sections/club/histoire-du-club |archive-date=17 July 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> After a decade at the fourth level of French football, the club was relegated to [[Championnat National 3]] in 2020 after being positioned bottom of [[2019–20 Championnat National 2]] Group B when the season was curtailed due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://actu.fr/ile-de-france/mantes-la-jolie_78361/yvelines-football-pas-miracle-fc-mantois-est-relegue-n3_33076274.html|title=Yvelines.
