Founded in 1933 by Pierre Guichard, the Association Sportive de Saint-Etienne is a club that has left its mark on the history of French soccer. Les Verts, proud winners of 10 French league titles, 6 French Cups, 1 League Cup and 5 Champions Trophies, return to McDonald's Ligue 1 after two years in the lower echelons.
ASSE boasts one of the best atmospheres in France, at its Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.
The late 70s also saw a fierce battle for the French league title between the Aiglons and the Foréziens.
Head-to-head
ASSE and OGC Nice have not faced each other since the 2021/2022 season, for a match in Ligue 1 Mcdonald's with a 4-2 victory for the Gym at the Allianz Riviera, thanks to goals from Melvin Bard, Hicham Boudaoui and a brace from Andy Delort.
The record for the last 10 official meetings against Stéphanois is as follows: 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
