Le Havre Athletic Club Football Association or Havre Athletic Club, is a French football, originally an athletics and rugby club based in Le Havre, founded in 1872 making it the oldest association football and rugby club registered in France.[1] The football team made an immediate return to Ligue 2 after being relegated from Ligue 1 in the 2008-09 season.
[edit] HistoryIt was in 1872 that a group of British residents formed Le Havre Athletique.[2] which played a hybrid form of football, a cross between rugby and soccer, called "combination". Le Havre can therefore be said to be origin of rugby union in France. Association football began being played on a regular basis in 1894, so technically FC Mulhouse could be considered the first French football team being established in 1893 (however, they were a German team at the time). Le Havre currently play in Ligue 2 of the French league and their home stadium is Stade Jules Deschaseaux. In 1899, Le Havre became the first club from outside Paris to become French football champions. At the time the championship was organised by the USFSA. After defeating Iris Club Lillois in the semi-final, they were awarded the title after receiving a walkover in the final [3]. The club is famous for its notable youth investment program which develops and nurtures young (often local) talent, with the vision of using them in the first team if they show enough promise. A vast amount of good young talent has gone on to make an impact at international level including Ibrahim Ba, Jean-Alain Boumsong, Lassana Diarra and Vikash Dhorasoo. It also involved in numbers of illegal transfer, which Charles N'Zogbia, Matthias Lepiller and Paul Pogba were signed by other clubs without paid. The first two were arbitrated by FIFA, ordered Newcastle United and ACF Fiorentina to pay training compensation. Le Havre is known as 'les ciel et marine' in France, which translates as 'the sky and navy blues'. These colours were chosen by the club's English founders as they were those of their alma maters, the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. [edit] Current squadAs of September 9, 2009[4]
