History
Tempête Football Club was founded on July 5, 1970 at the Boulevard of Freedom in Saint-Marc, Haiti. The club took its name from a thunderstorm that occurred during an afternoon match between local players. Fitting with this theme, the club adopted the colors blue and white for their kit.
Tempête won their first national league championship in 1992 as well as the Super Coupe d'Haïti, defeating second division champion Don Bosco FC. First President: Andre Laguerre 1970 – 1975
CONCACAF Champions League
After winning the national championship in 2010, Tempête FC was awarded one of three Caribbean spots in the preliminary round of the 2011–2012 CONCACAF Champions League, facing Monarcas Morelia of Mexico. The home match was to take place at Stade Sylvio Cator, but due to ongoing renovations following the 2010 Haiti earthquake both matches were played in Mexico.
