The Division 1 1956/57 was the 19th staging of the professional French football league. AS Saint-Étienne became champions for the first time in their club's history .
The first matchday was August 19, 1956, the last matchday was May 19, 1957. There was no “winter break”; Reims, for example, played point games on December 25th and 29th and January 1st and 6th.
societies
The clubs that had finished the previous season no worse than 15th were eligible to participate, as well as two direct promoters from the second division and the winner of the relegation round between the 16th of the first and third placed in the second division. Thus, the following teams played for the championship title this season:
- two clubs from the far north ( Racing Lens , relegation winner US Valenciennes-Anzin ),
- three from Paris and Champagne-Ardenne ( Racing Paris , Stade Reims , UA Sedan-Torcy ),
- two from the northwest (the two promoted Stade Rennes UC and SCO Angers ),
- four from the northeast ( FC Metz , FC Nancy , Racing Strasbourg , FC Sochaux ),
- one from the southwest ( Toulouse FC ),
- six from the southeast ( AS Saint-Étienne , Olympique Lyon , Olympique Nîmes , Olympique Marseille , defending champions OGC Nice , AS Monaco ).
Season course
Saint-Étienne put down a start-to-finish victory; trainer Snella had to build an almost completely new team, for which he mainly made use of his own second team, which had become French amateur champions in 1956 and from which he made five maximum 20-year-olds for the professionals as regulars. But the “green cavalry” with their attacking trio Mekhloufi / Njo-Léa / Rijvers stormed their opponents into the ground from the start, won 7-1 in Nancy, 6-3 against Marseille, 6-2 in Sedan and led after tenth Matchday and a 5: 4 win in Reims the table with six points. Saint-Étienne was also autumn champion with only two points before Reims. Seven laps before the end of the season, the competitor from Champagne even caught up with ASSE on points and Lens also worked its way up to three lengths. Then Reims ran out of steam and Saint-Etienne won at Lens; The Greens could not be taken away from this lead.
The relegation zone began this season from seventh place in the table, and in the end "France's east mourned the relegation of Strasbourg and Nancy", while "in Languedoc there was high spirits in view of two direct promoters ( Olympique Alès and AS Béziers )". In the subsequent barrages between Tables-16. and the third in Division 2 , the lower class OSC Lille prevailed after three games and also rose to the following season .
The season was overshadowed by the lack of restraint of the French ex- national player Abdesselem from Nîmes, who had beaten a referee and was banned by the association for two years.
