UJA Maccabi Paris
The Union de la Jeunesse Arménienne Maccabi Paris Métropole is a French football club from the capital region . It emerged in the summer of 2012 from a merger between the UJA d'Alfortville and the Sporting Club Maccabi de Paris . UJA d'Alfortville was founded in 1926 in Alfortville , in the neighborhood of Créteil on the southern periphery of Paris in the Val-de-Marne department . The SC Maccabi belongs to the Jewish sports community.
The club colors are black and yellow. The league eleven continues to play their home games in the Parc Interdépartemental des Sports in Choisy-le-Roi or in the Center sportif Nelson-Mandela in Sarcelles (3,500 seats) - and thus at the almost "opposite end" of Paris; Occasionally she also uses the Stade Charléty, which can accommodate around 20,000 visitors, or the Stade Dominique-Duvauchelle (space for 12,150 spectators).
History of the club
The UJA was founded in 1926 by members of the Armenian exile community in the Paris metropolitan area . Until the 1990s, UJA Alfortville remained one of many local amateur clubs that played for points in the minor leagues. In 1993, Gilles Baudu , owner of a large advertising newspaper publisher , was elected club president, who gave the UJA massive support, which since 1998 has led to several consecutive promotions of the club, which was then still in the tenth league. In May 2007 he qualified for the first time for the fifth (CFA2) , twelve months later for the fourth highest league (CFA). After the 2009/10 season, which Alfortville finished second in the table of his CFA group, it was accepted by the French association at the “green table” instead of the relegated Racing Strasbourg in the semi-professional national (D3) . After Strasbourg regained its membership in the third division through the courts, UJA Alfortville also remained in it for the 2010/11 season, but was relegated again after a year. Gilles Baudu is also President of the new UJA Maccabi Paris.
The SC Maccabi was also created in 1926, but was not officially registered until 1947. For decades he only played in one of the lower regional amateur classes; shortly after the Second World War , his league team was trained by Edmund Weiskopf for a few seasons .
League affiliation and achievements
First class ( Division 1 , renamed Ligue 1 since 2002 ), none of the two predecessor clubs ever played. In 2013/14 the UJAMP will compete in the fifth division (CFA2) . In the cup competition , too, only one of the two (Alfortville) managed - and that for now - to reach the national main round: In 2008/09 , however, the first division team Le Havre AC was too high a hurdle for the UJA in the thirty-second finals .
