About ES Troyes AC

Espérance Sportive Troyes Aube Champagne, known as ESTAC or simply Troyes, is a French football club from Troyes in the Champagne region, founded in 1986. It is the third professional club from the city after AS Troyes-Savinienne, which reached the 1956 Coupe de France final, and Troyes Aube Football. The team plays its home matches at the Stade de l'Aube.

Built up from the amateur leagues, ESTAC climbed rapidly through the divisions in the 1990s and reached Ligue 1 in 1999. In 2001 it won the UEFA Intertoto Cup, earning a place in the 2001–02 UEFA Cup, where it beat Ružomberok before going out to Leeds United in the second round.

Since then Troyes has moved between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, winning the second division title several times. The club is now part of the City Football Group.
