Étoile Carouge FC is a Swiss football team based in Carouge. Founded in 1904, it currently plays in 1. Liga Classic – Group 1 and holding home games at Stade de la Fontenette, which holds 7,200 spectators.
Carouge had survived several seasons in the second tier of Swiss football, the Challenge League, until the 2011–12 season. Due to restructuring of the Swiss Football League, it was announced that the bottom 6 teams of the 10 team division would be relegated to a newly formed division in 2012, rather than the usual two teams being relegated. Carouge finished four points from safety, and were relegated to the 1. Liga Promotion.
As of 2016/17 season.
