Stade Français from Paris is one of the oldest sports clubs in France . This article is only about the traditional football department . For the other departments, see Stade Français .

The association was founded in 1883 under its current name. In the first few years of the club's history, ball players were predominantly supporters of the rugby version; therefore the official establishment of an association football department did not take place until 1900 ( see also the history of football ).

The club colors of Stade Français are blue and red. Today (as of June 2012) the first team only plays in a lower Parisian amateur league.

history

After its founding, Stade Français joined the only football association until then, the Union des Sociétés Françaises des Sports Athlétiques (USFSA), which from 1898 carried out a national championship competition called Championnat de France . This competition was dominated by teams from the Paris area (especially Standard AC , Racing Club de France and Club Français ), the northern coalfield ( Olympique Lille , RC Roubaix and US Tourcoing ) and the English Channel region ( Le Havre AC ) until the First World War ; only occasionally was this dominance broken by clubs from the south ( Stade Helvétique Marseille ). In 1908 Stade Français rose to the highest Paris league and was able to take first place straight away. In the subsequent finals against the title holders from the other regions of France, however, the Breton champions from Saint-Servan presented too high a hurdle for the newcomer from the capital. During this time, he wore his games in the Vélodrome de la Seine from Levallois or . in the faisanderie in the park of Saint-Cloud , both in the west of Paris.

After the establishment of the uniform football association FFF (1919), Stade Français repeatedly attracted attention in the cup competition that had been held since 1917/18 and in 1932 it reached the final of the Coupe Sochaux , a high-quality but merely unofficial national championship - but it was not enough to win a title of these competitions. After all, Stade Français already had a number of national players in its ranks during these years . When introducing a nationwide, professional league operation (1932), the club nevertheless decided on the amateur area.

After the Second World War , the club had ambitions to play at the very top in professional football, invested considerable sums in well-known players (see below, well- known players ) and played its home games in the Parc des Princes , but the successes were in no reasonable relation to what they were doing Effort: Better than two 5th places in the top division at the beginning of the 1950s did not result. A second attempt to establish the club in the national top led to a financial fiasco in 1985. Since then the name Stade Français has only had a good sound in rugby and volleyball; footballers, on the other hand, are now very close to the limit to recreational sports.
