About Saint Etienne

AS Saint-Etienne are the most decorated club in French football history, a legendary green and white institution from the industrial city of Saint-Etienne in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region who won 10 Ligue 1 titles and became the first French club to reach the European Cup Final. Les Verts reached the pinnacle of European football in 1976, losing narrowly to Bayern Munich at Hampden Park in one of the most romantic chapters in continental football. Their emerald green shirts are among the most iconic in French and world football. Founded in 1919, AS Saint-Etienne play at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard (capacity around 42,000) in Saint-Etienne, Loire, France. They currently compete in Ligue 2. Key honours include 10 Ligue 1 titles, 6 Coupe de France wins, and the 1976 European Cup Final. Nicknamed Les Verts (The Greens), they wear green and white. AS Saint-Etienne's emerald green kits are among the most iconic in French football and arguably among the most recognisable club shirts in European football history. The 1976 European Cup Final shirt, worn when Les Verts faced Bayern Munich at Hampden Park in Glasgow, is one of the most celebrated pieces of French football heritage. The Adidas kits of the 1970s championship era, with their clean green design and classic styling, remain cult objects for French football shirt enthusiasts. The green of Saint-Etienne carries a weight of history that makes every vintage Les Verts shirt a treasure for collectors.
