AJ Auxerre
The club, whose history dates back to 1905 and which is simply called AJA among fans, was founded by a certain Abbé Deschamps under the name of Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise. The stadium, which can seat up to 18 541 spectators, is also named after him. AJ Auxerre won the top French competition in 1996, and the second league in the 1979/1980 season. It has also won the national cup four times (1994, 1996, 2003 and 2005) and dominated the Intertoto Cup in Europe twice (1997 and 2006).

AS Saint-Étienne
The club is called Les Verts (the greens) or simply Sainté for short. It's probably not hard to guess that the club's colour is green, which can be found both in the emblem and on the jerseys. This is complemented by white shorts and other white details on the home jerseys. For the away jerseys, the club has done a simple colour swap, with the shorts being green and the jersey white with green details. The home shrine is the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with a capacity of 41,965 seats.
