history
Arago Sport - named after a battalion commander who was shot in the Franco-Prussian War - reached the round of the last eight teams in the national cup competition for the first time in 1945 (after victories over AS Angoulême and Red Star, among others ). In 1947 and 1948 she was the French amateur runner-up. In the following years, Arago repeatedly made it into the main round in the Cup, with the club reaching the round of 16 in 1955 . From 1967 to 1970 and again from 1972, the team played in the third division, but rose to the second division soon after the merger in 1978 and in 1980 was only the sixth lower-class club since the introduction of professional football in France (1932) even the cup final (1 : 3 against AS Monaco). Monaco also ended the last soaring high in the Coupe de France in 1989 when the USO - after a 4-0 away win at Paris Saint-Germain - were able to reach the quarter-finals again. In 1992 he was relegated to the third division , and at the turn of the millennium even to the fifth highest division.
