CS Moulien is a football club based in Morne-à-l'Eau, Guadeloupe. The club competes in the Guadeloupe Championnat National and has a long domestic history with appearances in regional competitions. CS Moulien has produced players who participated in CONCACAF Gold Cup, CONCACAF Champions League, and other Caribbean tournaments.
Founded in 1920, the club emerged in the same era as Club Franciscain and CS Capesterrien as part of the early 20th-century growth of football in the French Antilles alongside clubs such as Aiglon du Lamentin and AS Gosier. During the 1960s and 1970s CS Moulien competed domestically against rivals including USR, Etoile de Morne-à-l'Eau, and Racing Club de Basse-Terre, and later entered regional competitions alongside Waterhouse F.C., Portmore United F.C., and W Connection F.C.. The club's domestic successes earned it qualification to regional tournaments featuring teams like Arnett Gardens F.C., Central F.C., and Club Franciscain in editions of the Caribbean Club Championship and the CONCACAF Cup.
Home matches are played at the Stade municipal de Morne-à-l'Eau, a venue shared in periods with local teams such as Etoile de Morne-à-l'Eau and used for regional fixtures when clubs like CS Moulien hosted opponents from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago such as Harbour View F.C. and San Juan Jabloteh. The facility has hosted fixtures under the auspices of the Ligue Guadeloupéenne de Football and has seen visiting supporters from locations including Basse-Terre and Pointe-à-Pitre.
CS Moulien's trophy cabinet includes titles in the Guadeloupe Championnat National won in seasons that mirrored successes by peers such as Club Franciscain and US Baie-Mahault. The club has also won domestic cups contested by teams like AS Gosier and Aiglon du Lamentin, and has qualified for Caribbean competitions alongside W Connection F.C. and Waterhouse F.C..
Notable players who have worn the club colours include individuals who later joined national selections and clubs in France and the Caribbean, following pathways similar to those of players at Club Franciscain and CS Capesterrien. Several squad members have been capped by the Guadeloupe national football team and competed in tournaments such as the CONCACAF Gold Cup alongside internationals from Haiti and Martinique. The roster has featured domestic talents who later transferred to clubs in Ligue 2 and the Championnat National 2.
Coaches and technical staff at the club have included former players and managers with experience in Caribbean and French football systems, some with links to organizations like Ligue Guadeloupéenne de Football and development programs similar to those coordinated by French Football Federation personnel. The coaching structure has mirrored models seen at regional clubs including Club Franciscain and ASC Le Geldar.
The club's season-by-season record in the Guadeloupe Championnat National places it among consistent top-tier contenders alongside Club Franciscain, ASC Le Geldar, and USR. In years when they qualified for regional competition, CS Moulien faced teams such as W Connection F.C., Portmore United F.C., and Central F.C. in tournaments organized under the CONCACAF umbrella.
