On March 20, 1890, a rugby club installed in the Wendt meadow emerged. A dozen young men from the Servette district were inspired by their English counterparts and started playing rugby.
Over the next ten years, the club grew considerably. A football section was then created, first under the name of the "Sunday Team", which later became the Servette Football Club.
With the ever-increasing popularity of football in the Geneva region, rugby opponents became hard to find. The club therefore also focused on football, but did not forget its origin and history, which began with an oval ball.
