The club was founded in 1968 by Arthur Chung to represent French Polynesia's Chinese community. Over time the team has evolved to include a diverse mix of cultures, and mostly consists of semi-professional players with day jobs.[3] In the 2011–12 season they won the championship for the first time and qualified for the 2012–13 OFC Champions League.[4]
