Troyes history
The full name is Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne, which is where the short form ESTAC comes from, though most people just say Troyes. The club was founded in 1986 and now plays in Ligue 1, the highest division in French football.
Troyes is not the first professional club the city has had. Two earlier teams, AS Troyes-Savinienne and Troyes AF, came before it, making ESTAC the third professional side to represent Troyes. That background gives the current club a link to a longer local football tradition, even though it is a fairly young organization. One more detail stands out: Troyes belongs to the City Football Group. Home matches take place at the Stade de l'Aube, which has a capacity of 21,877. The stadium takes its name from the Aube, the same word that appears in the club's full title.
