About CASG Paris

CASG Paris (Club Athlétique de la Société Générale) was a French football club based in Paris, founded in 1903 as the sports association of the Société Générale bank. The team was nicknamed “The Bankers” due to its origins and later also “The Generals” after a name change in 1919. It was one of the early Parisian clubs involved in the development of organized football in France.

In the early 20th century, CASG Paris became one of the notable teams in French football. It achieved significant success during the wartime and immediate post-war period, winning the Coupe de France twice, in 1919 and 1925. The club was also successful in wartime competitions, establishing itself among the stronger Parisian sides of its era.

From the 1930s onward, CASG Paris declined in importance as French football became fully professional and competition increased. The club chose to remain amateur and eventually lost its place among the top teams. It was dissolved in 1951 after merging with another local organization, ending its independent football history, but it remains remembered as part of the early development of Paris football.
