History
edit
Club athlétique de Vitry was founded in 1897.[1][2] Affiliated with the French Amateur Cycling Federation (FCAF), CA Vitry won the FCAF Championship twice in 1910 and 1911.[1] These victories allowed the club to compete in the Trophée de France, reaching the 1910 final, which they lost 0–2 to Patronage Olier.[3] The team that lined up in the final was: Chasselin - CH. Darlavoix, Sollier - Georges, Vascout, Spaiser - Moreau, Jourde, Boutefoy, Bergeron, Bourgenno.
In the Coupe de France, CAV's best performance dates back to the 1925–26 season, in which the club played a semi-final at the Stade Pershing in front of 20,000 spectators on 28 March 1926.[1] Vitry was eliminated by the champion of the Franche-Comté-Bourgogne League, the AS Valentigney by a score of 2–1.[4]
In the 1920s, CA Vitry played a few seasons among the Parisian elite by competing in the Paris championship of the Parisian League, and Vitry remained among the Parisian elite until 1927, when they were relegated to Promotion, level 2 behind Honor. CA Vitry played in the Division of Honor almost every year between 1949 and 1966, before leaving the regional elite following a relegation.[1]
In 2022, the club was promoted to Accession to Championnat National 3, but two years later, in 2024, the club was relegated back to Régional 1.[1]
The colors of CA Vitry are yellow and green.[5] In 1917, during the LFA's Challenge de la Renommée, the club played with a green and gold striped jersey.[6]
