The club was defunded by the city of Asnières and pulled out of the second-level Ligue B Masculine during the 2016 offseason. It later resumed its activities in the amateur Nationale 2 (fourth level). History The organization traces its lineage to 1948, when it was founded as the volleyball section of multisports club Asnières Sports. It established itself as one of the country's best, winning five national men's titles between 1965 and 1984. However, following a Coupe de France final appearance in 1986, Asnières Sport declined sharply and went winless in 1988–89, causing it to be relegated.

The League, founded and led by Henry I, Duke of Guise, intended the eradication of Protestantism from Catholic France, as well as the replacement of the French King Henry III, who had acquiesced to Protestant worship in the Edict of Beaulieu (1576). The League also fought against Henry of Navarre, the Protestant prince who became presumptive heir to the French throne in 1584. Pope Sixtus V, Philip II of Spain, and the Jesuits were all supporters of this Catholic party. Origins Local confraternities were initially established by French Catholics to counter the Edict of Beaulieu in 1576. King Henry III placed himself at the head of these associations as a counter-balance to the ultra-Catholic League of Peronne. Following the repudiation of that edict by the Estates General, most of the local leagues wer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
