Limoges Cercle Saint-Pierre, commonly referred to asLimoges CSP orCSP, is a French professionalbasketball club based in the city ofLimoges,France.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1929, but its peak was during the 1980s and 1990s, when they became the first French club to win a major European-wide title in a team sport, by winning theFIBA European League (EuroLeague) in1993.

In the 1999–2000 season, Limoges won its 9thtop-tier levelFrench League title, but it wasrelegated to the French second divisionLNB Pro B, after winning it, because of financial problems. The club didn't get back to its old state for a long time, as it spent the next 3 years in the Pro A, but was relegated again in 2004 after finishing dead last. Starting with the 2004–05 season, Limoges played in theNM1, the French third division, due to continued financial problems. It took the club six seasons to eventually return to the Pro A.

In the 2013–14 season, Limoges returned to its old glory, as the team captured its 10th French League national championship, by beatingStrasbourg IG 0–3 in the French League Finals.[1]Alex Acker was namedFinals MVP.

The club thus qualified for the2014–15 EuroLeague by winning the French League championship, which would be their first appearance in thetop European-wide league in 17 seasons. In the EuroLeague, Limoges lost 8 out of 10 games, managing to win againstUNICS andCedevita, before being relegated to the European-wide second tier levelEuroCup. In the EuroCup Round of 32, Limoges was eliminated, after finishing 3rd inGroup J. In the French Pro A, Limoges once again had a successful season. In the regular season, Limoges finished in 3rd place behindJSF Nanterre and Strasbourg IG, but in the French League playoffs, they made up for that. In the French League Finals, Limoges beat Strasbourg 1–3, to win back-to-back French League titles.[2]Ousmane Camara was namedFinals MVP.[3]

Supporters and rivalries

[edit]

The club has a large fan-base, with a dedicatedultras group calledUltras Green.

Their biggest rival is another legendary French clubPau-Orthez, and they have been trading blows with one another for national supremacy on the hardwood, both figuratively and literally, since the early 1980s. In the 22 seasons between 1983 and 2004, the two clubs combined for 18 French League championships, and multiple games between the two teams resulted in fights among the players, including one that ended in a brawl between Élan supporters and Limoges players, at the old Orthez venue, La Moutète.[citation needed]
