The club, founded in 1906, spent most of its history in lower levels, but also had several spells in the top Swiss level ( in 1930–31, 1933–36, 1945–53 and 1986–87).
In 2018, the club filed for bankruptcy and entered administration. This resulted in an automatic relegation to the ninth level of Swiss football. A local veterinarian, Mauro Cavalli, bought the club and led it to four straight promotions.
In 2023, Cavalli sold FC Locarno to North Sixth Group, which specializes in purchasing and developing lower-tier clubs around the world.[1]
