History edit
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.
On 11 May 2024, Etoile Carouge secure promotion to Challenge League from next season after defeat BSC Young Boys II with score 2-1 and champions of Promotion League in 2023–24 and return to second tier after 12 years absence.
