==History==
The parent club was founded in 1948, with the merger of two multi-sport clubs in Lyon and vicinity; ASVEL is an acronym combining the names of the predecessor clubs—'''''A'''ssociation '''S'''portive '''V'''illeurbanne'' and [[ESSMG Lyon|'''''É'''veil '''L'''yonnais'']]. In its history, ASVEL has won 21 [[LNB Élite|French Pro A League]] championships, 10 [[French Basketball Cup|French Cup]]s, two [[Match des Champions (basketball)|French Supercups]], one [[French Basketball Cup|French Federation Cup]], and one [[LNB Pro A Leaders Cup|Semaine des As Cup]] (French Pro A Leaders Cup), which makes it the most titled basketball club in France.

In 2014, former [[San Antonio Spurs]] star and [[France national basketball team|France national team]] player, [[Tony Parker]], became the club's president. 

In the [[2015–16 LNB Pro A season|French Pro A League 2015–16 season]], ASVEL won its 18th French League title, after beating [[SIG Basket|Strasbourg IG]] 3 games to 2 in the French Pro A League Finals. ASVEL was down 2–0 in the series, but won three games in a row to take the championship.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/featured/262560/villeurbanne-completes-total-comeback-to-win-the-championship/|title=Villeurbanne completes total comeback to win the championship|date=14 June 2016|website=Eurohoops}}</ref>

In March 2017, [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] player, [[Nicolas Batum]], became a shareholder in Infinity Nine Sports, the main investment company behind the club, and took over the position as director of basketball operations. Tony Parker remained majority owner, and ASVEL President.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.sportando.com/en/europe/france/230484/nicolas-batum-becomes-shareholder-of-tony-parker-s-asvel-and-director-of-basketball-operations.html|title=Nicolas Batum becomes shareholder of Tony Parker's ASVEL and director of basketball operations|work=Sportando|access-date=2017-03-31|language=en}}</ref> In 2018, the club signed a 10-year name sponsorship agreement with [[Groupe LDLC]]. The club also changed its main team colors from the original white and green to white and black, and changed its main logo design.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 2019, ASVEL returned to the [[EuroLeague]] after the organisation decided to give the team a [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] for two years.<ref name="Expansion">{{cite news |date=5 July 2018 |title=EuroLeague & EuroCup clubs, domestic leagues shape 2018-19 season |work=[[Euroleague Basketball]] |url=https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague-basketball/news/i/8upbgm87oq6whvwt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711201715/https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague-basketball/news/i/8upbgm87oq6whvwt |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 July 2019 |access-date=11 July 2019 }}</ref>
