AC Evreux
The Athletic Club Évreux is a sports club from the Norman city of Évreux . In particular, the soccer players and soccer players of the club are temporarily competed at national league level.
history
The club was founded in 1909 under the name Sporting Club d'Évreux . In addition to football, rugby was also practiced in the SC from the very beginning ; shortly after the First World War , basketball was added as another sport . The name was changed to Athletic Club Évreux in 1942. In 2009, the football department merged with the Amicale Laïque de la Madeleine d'Évreux (ALM for short) , which was merged in 1964, and has existed since then as Évreux Football Club 27 ; the 27 is the serial number of the Eure département , whose prefectural seat is in Évreux.
The club colors are black and red. The ÉFC league teams play in the Stade Roger-Rochard , which has a capacity of around 3,000 spectators.
League affiliation and achievements
Men's soccer
The men of the AC played consistently under amateur conditions, partly in regional, partly in national leagues. After the French federation had opened the second highest professional division (D2) also for amateur teams in the early 1970s , AC Évreux was promoted from the third division to Group A of D2 in 1971. The subsequent season 1971/72 ended the Normans on the penultimate place in the table, so that they had to return promptly to the third division. They have never been able to reach this level again up to the present. The successor club ÉFC has so far only shuttled between fifth (CFA2) - there Évreux competes in 2014/15 - and sixth division ( Division d'Honneur ).
In the national cup competition (Coupe de France) AC / FC reached the main round in seven draws up to and including 2014/15; this was the case for the first time in 1965 and last in 1988. Except for the 1968/69 season , when Évreux even advanced to the second round, which required two repetitions in the previous round, and in 1987/88 (elimination in the sixteenth finals) the cup course ended after one game.
Women's soccer
From 1997, girls and women also played football at AC Évreux. These included a number of later first division and national players around the turn of the millennium (see the section below), several of whom were promoted in the French "Kaderschmiede" in Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines , played for their first division team CNFE and then joined a club in the nearby capital region changed. Évreux belonged from 2000 even to the second division, in which women mostly occupied a place in the middle of the table. At the end of the 2006/07 season she took second place in her group and qualified in the final tournament of the group's best for Division 1 , if only due to the fact that the better-placed Olympique Saint-Memmie was denied promotion. In the following first division season , however, the ACÉ had almost no chance and ended the season with a clear gap to a non-relegation place as the bottom. In 2010, Évreux's women - now known as Évreux FC 27 - even had to enter the third division, from which they have not returned until 2018.
In the state cup competition , the AC reached the main round five times between 2003 and 2010; his women were most successful in 2004 when they reached the quarter-finals, when they eliminated the first division side of Stade Saint-Brieuc and only failed at the later cup winners FC Lyon . In 2007 they made it to the round of 16 again, where their ambitions were again put to an end by a better-class opponent, this time the USCCO Compiègne .
Other sports
In basketball , neither the men nor the women from Évreux have played in the top leagues or won national titles. However, from 1969 to 1972 one of the most successful basketball players in France, the 247-time national player Élisabeth Riffiod , wore the ACÉ dress.
The club's rugby players became Normandy champions in 1910, just one year after the club was founded, and played a 15-a-side rugby final , although it was not about the French championship . In it they were subject to Aviron Bayonne .
