Stade Geoffroy-Guichard has held 41,965 seated fans, but locals still call it "Le Chaudron" — the Cauldron. AS Saint-Étienne has played there since 1931.
The green kit stayed throughout — a nod to the Casino chain's own branding — and gave the team its enduring nickname, Les Verts.
No French club has won the league more often: ten titles, the last of them in 1981 with Michel Platini in the side. Saint-Étienne came closest to European glory in 1976, losing the European Cup final 0-1 to Bayern Munich, then losing the Super Cup to the same opponents that year.
The green shirts and the Cauldron remain, tied back to the works team the Casino staff put together in 1919.
