In 2012, the semi-professional club was established to play in the newly formed Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, as one of the founding members.[1][2] They entered under the name FC L'Assomption. They finished in second place in the league's inaugural season, behind champions FC St-Léonard.[3] Striker Frederico Moojen finished as the league's top goalscorer in each of the league's first three seasons.[4] Beginning in the 2014 season, they became known as FC L'Assomption-Lanaudière.[5]
The club departed the league following the 2015 season. They were replaced by FC Lanaudière, which was organized by the Lanaudière regional soccer association, supported by the region's 14 member clubs, including L'Assomption.[6]
