The Cercle Athlétique Bastiais or CA Bastia for short is a former French football club from the Corsican city of Bastia . After relegation from the 3rd French football league, the club merged with Borgo FC to form FC Bastia-Borgo in July 2017.
history
CA Bastia was founded in 1920. Before the introduction of professionalism in France (1932), it played a good role in Corsica. In the late 1980s, the club merged with the Gallia Lucciana and AS Toga Cardo clubs . This under the name CA Bastiais Gallia Lucciana operating amalgamation was dissolved in 2003 and the CAB played again under its old name.
The club colors were black and white. The footballers played their home games in the Stade Erbajolo , which has an artificial turf field and a capacity of 2,000 spectators; in the 2013/14 season , however, they moved to the large municipal Stade Armand Cesari . The club's president is Antoine Emmanuelli; the league team is coached by Christian Bracconi . (As of August 2015)
League affiliation and achievements
The club achieved professional status in 2013 with its first promotion to Ligue 2 , in which it only lasted one season.
In the 1920s and 1930s he was champion of the Corsican Division d'Honneur five times , namely from 1923 to 1926 in series and again in 1933. The CAB only won further championships in this regional honor division, which had long since been only fourth and fifth respectively, four decades later ( 1972, 1975, 1977) as well as 1988 and 2001.
Then he entered the nationwide Championnat de France Amateur , the fifth or - from 2006 - fourth league level. In 2012 he qualified for the first time in his club's history for the semi-professional third-highest division and thus contributed to the "footballing Corsican spring", which was the first division of AC Ajaccio and the promotion of local rivals SC Bastia to the highest as well of GFCO Ajaccio manifested itself in the second division.
In the traditional cup competition for the Coupe de France , CA Bastia made it into the nationwide main round in 2012/13 for the first time since its foundation - and in it knocked the neighbor and first division SC Bastia out of the running. In the subsequent sixteenth-finals, however, he was defeated by Stade Brest .
After the Second World War , the club achieved several successes in the Corsican amateur soccer cup (Coupe de Corse) (1952, 1973, 1976, 1990, 1999, 2003, 2008 and most recently 2009).
