between 1982-84. The current club was founded in
1995 with the merger of the rugby sections of Stade
Francais and Club Athlétique des Sports Généraux
(CASG). Entrepreneur Max Guazzini took over in 1992,
when in third division, beginning the club’s recent
rise. In 2001 he started the ‘Dieux du Stade’ – (the
Gods of Stade) – calendar. |
