The Union sportive et amicale de Clichy, abbreviated to USA Clichy, is a French Association football club founded in 1900, and located in Clichy, in Hauts-de-Seine. [1]
The Union sportive de Clichy was founded in 1900, and following its creation, the club registered with the USFSA; it adopted the red and black colors, in homage to the Paris Commune. [2]
From 1909 to 1914, the club competed in the first series of the USFSA Paris championship , and during this period, Clichy never Clichy because of the dominated of the likes of Racing Club de France, CASG Paris, and AS Française. However, US Clichy finished runner-up in Paris in the 1910–11 season, being the only club not to lose to the champion, RC France. [3] The club also played in the Coupe Dewar, a Parisian competition in which it reached the finals in 1911, and in 1914, losing the former in extra-time (0–1) to Club athlétique de Paris 14 , [4] and the latter 5–1 to the same club. [5]
Before the start of the 1913–14 season, USA Clichy merged with another club from Clichy, the Sporting Club amical, and took the name of Union sportive et amicale de Clichy. [2] USA Clichy was one of the 48 clubs that participated in the inaugural Coupe de France in 1917–18, being knocked out in the round of 16 by AS Française (13–0). [6] Two years later, the club reached the quarter-finals of the competition after beating Étoile des Deux Lacs, ASPO Châteauroux and FC Rouennais, but then lost to Le Havre AC in Rouen by the score of 3–2. [7]
USA Clichy was one of the first clubs registered with the French Football Federation in 1919, and its affiliation number is therefore n°5. [8] In 2015–16, the club played in the Promotion d’Honneur de Paris.
