'''Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise''' ({{IPA|fr|asɔsjɑsjɔ̃ də la ʒœnɛs osɛʁwaz}}), commonly known as '''AJ Auxerre''' or by the abbreviation '''AJA''', is a French professional [[association football|football]] club based in [[Auxerre]], [[Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]], [[France]]. The club currently competes in [[Ligue 1]], the top division of [[Football in France|French football]]. Auxerre plays its home matches at the [[Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps]], on the banks of the [[Yonne (river)|Yonne River]]. The team is managed by [[Christophe Pélissier (footballer)|Christophe Pélissier]].

Auxerre was founded in 1905 and made its debut in the first division of French football in the [[1980–81 French Division 1|1980–81 season]], remaining in the premier league until the [[2011–12 Ligue 1|2011–12 season]]. The club has won the [[Ligue 1]] title once, in the [[1995–96 French Division 1|1995–96 season]]. Two years prior, Auxerre achieved its first major honour by winning the [[Coupe de France]] in [[1994 Coupe de France final|1994]] in a 3–0 victory over [[Montpellier HSC|Montpellier]]. The club has since added three more Coupe de France titles, which ties the club for the fifth-best standing among teams who have won the trophy.

Auxerre has produced several notable players during its existence. The club has most notably served as a springboard for several prominent French football players such as [[Eric Cantona]], [[Laurent Blanc]], [[Stéphane Guivarc'h]], [[Philippe Mexès]], [[Basile Boli]], and [[Djibril Cissé]], among others, who all became French internationals, with Blanc playing on the teams that won the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] and [[UEFA Euro 2000]]. Guivarc'h, [[Bernard Diomède]] and [[Lionel Charbonnier]] were the three footballers from Auxerre who were world champions in 1998. From 1961 to 2005, the club was predominantly coached by [[Guy Roux]]. This included an uninterrupted period when Roux was in charge for 36 years between 1964 and 2000.

== History ==
{{Commons}}
The club ''Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise'' was founded in 1905, by the abbot Ernest Abbé Deschamps. The club success, becoming a force in the Catholic league F.G.S.P.F. In 1908, the club even reached the F.G.S.P.F. French Championship final, losing 8–1 however. At the end of the First World War, the club was expelled from its ground. Father Deschamps acquired several pieces of land along the Yonne on the Vaux road, which later formed the Abbé Deschamps Stadium.

Auxerre made its first steps in Division 1 on 24 July 1980 against [[SC Bastia|Bastia]] in [[Toulon]]. Auxerre lost the match 2–0. On 20 November 1980, [[Andrzej Szarmach]] signed for Auxerre having received consent from the [[Polish Football Association]]. He started two days later at home against [[Olympique Lyonnais|Lyon]] and scored the first of his ninety-four goals in Division 1. AJA's first season in Division 1 was remarkable for two particular performances: on 13 December 1980, at [[Parc des Princes]] against [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] (3–2), and then on 7 April 1981, at [[Stade Marcel-Saupin]] against [[FC Nantes|Nantes]] for a 1–0 win, notable as Nantes had not lost a home game for five years and 92 games (between 15 April 1976 and 7 April 1981). In the next two seasons, AJA finished fifteenth and eighth respectively.

During the 1983–84 season, AJA climbed for the first time onto the podium in finishing third. [[Patrice Garande]] finished top scorer with twenty-one goals. A few weeks later, Garande won the gold medal at the [[1984 Summer Olympics|Olympics in Los Angeles]] with the French Olympic football team while [[Joël Bats]] and [[Jean-Marc Ferreri]] were part of the victorious French team at [[UEFA Euro 1984]]. That summer, Auxerre recruited [[Michel N'Gom]]. An international prospect, he left Paris Saint-Germain. During pre-season, he scored five goals in ten games. On the last weekend before the start of the season, he visited his former teammates in Paris. He died following a traffic accident on 12 August 1984. To pay tribute, one of the stands at Abbé Deschamps bears his name. The 1984–1985 season saw Auxerre in European competition for the first time in its history by participating in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]], albeit with an unfavourable first round draw with [[Sporting CP|Sporting Clube de Portugal]]. On 19 September 1984 at [[Estádio José Alvalade (1956)|Estádio José Alvalade]], AJA took its bow in European football with a 2–0 defeat. The return leg took place on 3 October 1984. AJA managed to retrieve the two goal deficit with a double by Szarmach, but eventually succumbed with two goals in extra time. However, by virtue of the victory of [[AS Monaco FC|Monaco]] in the Coupe de France, AJA also qualified for the UEFA Cup the year after.

The 1985 offseason saw Joël Bats join Paris Saint-Germain. Auxerre recruited [[Bruno Martini]] as his successor. In the UEFA Cup, AJA were drawn against [[A.C. Milan|Milan]]. In the first leg, Auxerre won 3–1. Both teams missed a penalty and [[Paolo Maldini]] made his debut in European competition. In the return match, AJA lost 3–0 and was therefore eliminated. Seventh in the league and quarter-finalist in the French cup, AJA did not manage a third straight season in Europe. Auxerre finished fourth in 1986–1987, and was once again eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Cup the following season with a 2–0 away defeat to [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] too much to overcome in the return leg (which Auxerre won 3–2). The 1988–89 season saw AJA finish fifth in the league and reach the semi-finals of the Coupe de France before elimination by [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]], the future winner of the event. With fifth place in the league, AJA made the UEFA Cup and there made its first decent run. During the preliminary round, AJA managed its first victory. Beaten 0–1 at home by [[GNK Dinamo Zagreb|Dinamo Zagreb]], it registered 3–1 in Yugoslavia and qualified for the first round proper. Auxerre beat successively Albanians [[FK Apolonia Fier|Apolonia Fier]], Finns [[Rovaniemen Palloseura|RoPS]] and [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]] of Greece before being eliminated in the quarterfinals by [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]]. In parallel with this, AJA managed sixth place in the league. During the summer of 1990, the AJA sold [[Basile Boli]] and recruited [[Enzo Scifo]], [[Alain Roche (footballer)|Alain Roche]] and [[Zbigniew Kaczmarek (footballer)|Zbigniew Kaczmarek]]. Auxerre finished in third place after leading the championship for two weeks.

In 1991–92, Auxerre was eliminated in the second round of the UEFA Cup by [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] and then finished fourth in Division 1. That summer, the AJA sold Alain Roche and [[Jean-Marc Ferreri]] while recruiting [[Frank Verlaat]] and [[Gérald Baticle]]. Auxerre then journeyed again into UEFA. Auxerre eliminated [[PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv|Lokomotiv Plovdiv]] and the newly formed [[F.C. Copenhagen|Copenhagen]]. In the third round, AJA eliminated [[Standard Liège]]. In the quarterfinals, AJA faced [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]], the defending champion and undefeated in the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] for two years. Before facing Ajax, Auxerre had suffered five consecutive league defeats. Auxerre managed a 4–2 home win. In the second leg, Ajax could only manage a 1–0 win and so Auxerre had qualified for the semi-finals, to face [[Borussia Dortmund]]. In the first leg in Germany, AJA lost 2–0. A fiercely contested second leg levelled the aggregate score, but Auxerre were finally eliminated on penalties.

While finishing sixth in the championship, Auxerre again qualified for the UEFA Cup after the [[French football bribery scandal|VA-OM case]]. But unlike the epic run of the previous season, AJA was eliminated in the first round by Tenerife. AJA made progress in the league, with a third-place finish, but notably captured its first major trophy, the French cup. Having made it past the lower division teams in the early rounds, AJA eliminated Nantes in the semifinals before winning 3-0 at the Parc des Princes in the final against [[Montpellier HSC|Montpellier]]. The following season, Auxerre finished fourth in the league and was a quarter-finalist of the Cup Winners' Cup: Auxerre was eliminated by [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] in the Abbe-Deschamps (1–0) having achieved a 1–1 draw at [[Arsenal Stadium|Highbury]].

During the [[1995–96 AJ Auxerre season|1995–96 season]], the club won Division 1 for the first time in their history, and also won the Coupe de France.

On 13 May 2012, Auxerre's 32-year stay in the top division came to an end after a 3–0 away defeat at the hands of [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]]. [[2012–13 Ligue 2|The following season]], Auxerre finished a disappointing ninth place along with a goal difference of −2. The next season was no better for AJA, after they finished a lowly 16th position. Although not resulting in promotion, the [[2014–15 Ligue 2]] season was better for the [[Burgundy]] based side, as they finished ninth in [[Ligue 2]] and finishing runners-up in the [[2015 Coupe de France final]] after losing to [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] at the [[Stade de France]] in front of an attendance of 80,000. The [[2018–19 Ligue 2|2018–19]] season was Auxerre's seventh consecutive in the Ligue 2. In the [[2020–21 Ligue 2]] season, the Auxerrois would achieve their best finish in the second tier since their relegation with a 6th-place finish, although they were positioned within the top five required for at least the playoffs at the end of 17 of the 38 game weeks. In the [[2021–22 Ligue 2]] season, AJA were finally promoted back to Ligue 1 after ten years, after a penalty shoot-out win against [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Etienne]] in the Ligue 1 promotion/relegation play-offs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/french-ligue-1/story/4677230/auxerre-beat-saint-etienne-as-supporters-storm-pitch-after-relegation-to-ligue-2 |title=Auxerre beat Saint-Etienne as supporters storm pitch after relegation to Ligue 2 |website=ESPN |date=29 May 2022 |access-date=30 May 2022 |archive-date=7 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220807142518/https://www.espn.com/soccer/french-ligue-1/story/4677230/auxerre-beat-saint-etienne-as-supporters-storm-pitch-after-relegation-to-ligue-2 |url-status=live }}</ref>
After just one season in Ligue 1, Auxerre were relegated back to Ligue 2 after losing on the final day against [[RC Lens|Lens]]. Auxerre were one point clear of [[FC Nantes|Nantes]], but with Nantes securing a victory over already relegated [[Angers SCO|Angers]] it meant Auxerre were the final team relegated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ligue1.com/Articles/Match-Reports/2023/06/03/nantes-safe-auxerre-relegated/|title=Nantes safe, Auxerre relegated|website=www.ligue1.com|access-date=5 June 2023|archive-date=5 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605105802/https://www.ligue1.com/Articles/Match-Reports/2023/06/03/nantes-safe-auxerre-relegated/|url-status=live}}</ref> On 11 May 2024, Auxerre secure promotion to Ligue 1 for the 2024–25 season, after 1-1 draw against [[Amiens SC|Amiens]], champions of Ligue 2 in 2023–24, and returned to the top tier after a one year absence.
