Wikipedia - Istres FC
Istres Football Club (French pronunciation: [istʁ]; commonly referred to as simply Istres) is a French association football club based in Istres. The club was formed in 1920 and currently play their home matches at the Stade Parsemain in Fos-sur-Mer, a commune in the Arrondissement of Istres.
History
FC Istres was founded in 1920 by Édouard Guizonnier as SS Istréenne. In 1969, SS Istréenne was merged into the more general sports club Istres Sports, who chose to keep Istréenne's distinctive purple and black colours. In 1977 the club made young entrepreneur Michel Aviet the club's president and ex-Yugoslav goalkeeper Georges Korac the club's manager. During the Aviet-Korac years, the club advanced from France's lower amateur regional divisions all the way up to Ligue 2.
In the 2004–05 season, the club reached Ligue 1 for the first time in its history but finished last and was relegated to Ligue 2. Istres returned to Ligue 2 in the 2009–10 season after winning the Championnat National 2008–09. After five seasons in Ligue 2, they were relegated at the end of the 2013–14 season after a 4–2 loss to Dijon FCO. They were briefly readmitted to Ligue 2 when Luzenac was denied promotion due to stadium requirements. However, on 11 July 2014, following the reversal of a ruling against Valenciennes, Istres' relegation was confirmed, and they returned to the Championnat National.
In July 2015, the club was relegated to the seventh tier due to financial issues. On 12 March 2016, it was renamed Istres Football Club, with President Alain Christmann explaining, "The entity 'Ouest Provence' no longer exists, so this change is more logical. It's not a revolution, but it needed to be done." Successive promotions in 2017 and 2018 elevated the club to the Championnat National 3, with another promotion to the Championnat National 2 in 2024.
