About CA Paris-Charenton

CA Paris-Charenton is a historic French football club based in the Paris region, officially formed through the merger of earlier clubs, with its roots going back to CA Paris founded in 1892. The football section began in 1896, and the club became one of the early important teams in French football development. It is traditionally linked to the Paris suburban areas of Charenton-le-Pont and Maisons-Alfort.

The original CA Paris was one of the strong clubs of the early French game, winning the Coupe de France in 1920 and reaching the final again in 1928. It also participated in the early professional era, playing in the first seasons of the French national league in the 1930s, although without major success at that level. Over time, it remained active in French competitions but gradually lost its top-tier status.

In 1964, CA Paris merged with SO Charentonnais to form CA Paris-Charenton, marking the end of its independent professional identity. After the merger, the club continued to compete at lower regional levels, away from professional football. Despite this decline, it is still remembered as one of the pioneering clubs that helped establish organized football in France.
