FC Stade Lausanne Ouchy, sometimes referred to as SLO, is a Swiss football club based in Ouchy, Lausanne. They currently play in the Swiss Challenge League after achieving promotion in 2019. The club is the result of a merger between FC Ouchy-Olympic and FC Stade Lausanne in 2001. FC Ouchy-Olympic's story began in 1895 as FC La Villa Ouchy. As founding members of the Swiss Football Association, they competed in the first Serie A season during 1897–98, but later mostly played in the lower divisions. The initial forerunner to the latter club was founded in 1901 as FC Signal Lausanne, which became Stade Lausanne in 1926, also introducing athletics, field hockey and shooting sports departments. They competed in the second division and narrowly failed to achieve promotion to the Serie A in 1929. Henri Guisan acted as president between 1929 and 1939, when his position became honorary as he led the Swiss army's mobilization during World War II. He emphasized the importance of sport to stay healthy, for civilians but especially soldiers. They continued to compete in the lower divisions following his departure, playing in the 1. Liga as late as 1963–64. More information...
