History

Founded on February 5, 1954 under the name of Olympique de Médenine by a Frenchman named Mr. Godal, he played for a long time in regional division before securing his first accession to the second division in 1972, under the direction of Ahmed Msallem even if it retrogrades quickly.

In 1995, the team that was ranked ninth in the third division south, is taken in hand by businessman Bashir Ben Amor. In two years, he allows the club now called the Olympic Club of Medenine to access in Ligue I. His successor in 2000, Mongi Ksiksi, provided some continuity for the club but the financial means were no longer up to the ambitions and the club found itself again in Ligue III. However, the club regained its ambitions and, in two years, got two accessions that bring him temporarily in Ligue I in 2017, after a play-off against the AS La Marsa.
