Union Sportive du Pays de Cassel is a football club based in Arnèke in the Nord department of France. As of the 2023–24 season, it competes in Championnat National 3, the fifth tier of French football, after winning promotion in 2023.

History

US Pays de Cassel was founded in 2018 after the merger of four smaller local clubs: Hardifort, Noordpenne-Zuytpeene, Bavinchove-Cassel and Arnèke.

On 14 January 2023, Pays de Cassel eliminated Championnat National 2 (fourth-tier) side Wasquehal in the round of 64 of the 2022–23 Coupe de France following a penalty shoot-out. This set up an encounter with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in the following round, played at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens as Pays de Cassel's stadium did not meet the criteria to hold the game. At the time, Pays de Cassel had an annual budget of €150,000 while PSG's was €800 million; the two clubs were worth €400,000 and €3.2 billion, respectively. PSG won 7–0, with five goals from Kylian Mbappé.
