The French football championship is one of the most exciting in Europe. In this country, many clubs were formed, which at different times shone in European arenas.
The most titled football club in France, if you count the performances on the domestic arena, is the team from the city of the same name, Saint-Etienne. The club was founded almost a century ago - in 1919. Currently, the home arena of "Saint-Etienne" is the stadium "Geoffroy Guichard", which can accommodate just over 36 thousand spectators.
"Saint-Etienne" more often than all the French teams won the title of champion of France. It happened ten times - in 1957, 1964, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1981. Among other trophies of the football club are six times the French Cup, five times the French Super Cup. Once Saint-Etienne won the French League Cup. The latest achievement was achieved relatively recently - in 2013.
Many outstanding football players have played for Saint-Etienne at different times. Michel Platini is one of the most famous former players of Saint-Etienne. In addition to the outstanding striker, other star players of Saint-Etienne can be distinguished - Aimé Jacquet, Jacques Santini, Roger Mila, Patrick Battiston, Johnny Rep, as well as Laurent Blanc.
In the 2014-2015 season, Saint-Etienne is fighting for the highest places in the domestic championship. The team is in the top five and has every chance to represent France in European club tournaments next year.
