Born in 1967, the Etoile Sportive de Pontault-Combault took off through the Regional Championship. Having become Union municipale sports de Pontault-Combault Handball Club and then trained by Thierry Anti, the club won the French championship in the 3rd division in 1992 and then in the 2nd division in 1994. The club then evolves for 7 seasons in the elite with the culmination of a fourth place in 1999 before being relegated in 2001. The club then oscillates several seasons between D1 and D2 before being permanently relegated in 2008. In 2018, the club, now called Pontault-Combault Handball, won the Division 2 Accession Barrages: author of 4 draws in as many games, the club was thus promoted to Division 1 without having won a match.[2]
