Grand Ouest Association Lyonnaise Football Club[1] (short: GOAL FC, or Goal FC[2]) is a French association football club founded in 2000. They compete in the Championnat National 3 since 2025, having been relegated from the Championnat National 2 in the 2024–25 season.

History

[edit | edit source]

Founded in 2000 as Beaujolais Monts d'Or, the club became Monts d'Or Azergues in 2005 and Monts d'Or Anse Foot in 2017.[3] The club took its current name in 2020 when it merged with smaller amateur clubs Tassin FC, Champagne Sport FC and Futsal Saône Monts d'Or. The new club had over 1,800 registered players across all age groups and activities, making it France's largest.[4][5] They are based in the towns of Chasselay, Anse, Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, and Champagne-au-Mont-d'Or in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and their main home stadium is the Stade Ludovic Giuly in Chasselay, named after France international Ludovic Giuly.

On the pitch, the club won the fifth-tier Championnat de France Amateur 2 in 2009–10. In January 2013, they announced the signing of Lyon-born former France international and FC Barcelona player Ludovic Giuly from June.[6] He scored in a draw with FC Istres of Ligue 2 in the last 32 of the Coupe de France on 4 January 2014, which his team won on penalties.[7] Eighteen days later in the last 16, held at Olympique Lyonnais's Stade de Gerland, the team lost 3–0 at home to Giuly's former club AS Monaco FC, for whom Radamel Falcao scored twice.[8] Also in January 2014, former France international and OL mainstay Sidney Govou joined the club.[9]

In May 2019, former Brazil international and OL player Cris was hired as manager,[10] leaving two years later for Championnat National club Le Mans FC.[11] Another of his former teammates, France international Anthony Réveillère, was director of football from 2020 to 2022.[12] The club won promotion to the third-tier Championnat National for the first time as group winners in 2022–23, after defeating Stade Bordelais 3–1 on 3 June 2023.[13]
