Entente Sportive et Athlétique de Linas-Montlhéry is a football club based in the towns of Linas and Montlhéry, France.[2] They currently compete in the Championnat National 3, the fifth tier of French football.[3] The club's colors are red and yellow, and its nickname is Sang et Or, meaning Blood and Gold.[4][5]

History[]

Linas-Montlhéry was founded in 1960 as a result of the merging of two clubs, US Linas and ES Montlhéry.

The club gained notable attention after being drawn against French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the round of 64 of the 2019–20 Coupe de France.[6] The match took place on 5 January 2020 at the Stade Robert Bobin, and ended in a 6–0 victory for PSG.[7][8] Unfortunately for Linas-Montlhéry, they had a penalty saved by PSG's goalkeeper Sergio Rico when the score was only 1–0.[9]

After the end of the 2019–20 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Linas-Montlhéry sat top of their group in the Régional 1. They were subsequently promoted to the Championnat National 3, the fifth division in the French football league pyramid.[10]

French-Moroccan rapper La Fouine is a supporter of Linas-Montlhéry.[11]

Stadium[]

The club is a resident of both the Stade Paul Desgouillons and the Stade Cosom, though the Stade Paul Desgouillons is the main venue at which the club play at.[12] The Stade Cosom has a capacity of 1,000.[13]

In 2020, the Stade Paul Desgouillons was renovated, in order for Linas-Montlhéry to not be relegated.[14][15]

Tanguy Ndombele is an icon of Linas-Montlhéry, and the club has put up a poster of him in the Stade Paul Desgouillons, just like several other notable former youth players.[16]
