League affiliation and achievements

Bourg-Péronnas never had professional status before 2015. The club's footballers played in lower regional leagues for many years before moving up to the Division d'Honneur , the highest regional amateur league , and further promoted to the national CFA 2 in the 1990s . In the period that followed, the FCBP mostly shuttled between the fifth and fourth leagues. In 2003 he was promoted to the semi-professional third-highest division for the first time in the club's history ; he only stayed there for a year. For the 2012/13 season he had again qualified for the National (D3) , and at the end of the 2014/15 season he even rose to Ligue 2 .

The club was more successful in the cup competition for the Coupe de France . In 1993 he had made it into the national main round for the first time, where in the thirty-second final against FC Nantes, however, the cup was immediately eliminated. In 1998, on the other hand, the then fourth-rate footballers prevailed one after the other - and in both duels during regular time - against the first division clubs HSC Montpellier and FC Metz , before they beat their “big neighbor” Olympique Lyon 0: 1 in the round of the best eight teams documents. For all three home games, Bourg-Péronnas had chosen the Stade Gerland of Lyon as the venue. Another five years later , after successes over second division Racing Strasbourg and FCO Dijon , the amateurs made it to the round of 16, in which they failed at the eventual winner AJ Auxerre .

For the last time the club made national headlines in the 2011/12 event . After he had thrown a first division club out of the competition with AC Ajaccio , he was drawn for the round of 16 at Olympique Marseille . Bourg-Péronnas had home rights and wanted to play the game in Saint-Étienne . Due to the onset of winter at the beginning of February 2012, the game had to be canceled twice; then the Commission of the Cup decided federation FFF short term the match "because of the [local] risk of snowfall" for Marseille to install. The fourth division lost this "home game" in the opponent's stadium with 1: 3.
