HISTORY

The birth of the SMUC

 

Jean Sans is a PE teacher from Toulouse. He’s been teaching at the Lycée Thiers in Marseille for 2 years when he decides with his students to recreate the friendly and sporting atmosphere he had known in Toulouse. In March 1923, together with a colleague he founds the Sports Marseillais Université Club.

At this stage, the university club only counts rugbymen and sprinters. Jean wishes to include footballers and mid-distance runners. Among his most talented students, some are young champions who belong to the Stade Marseillais, a club based in the Endoume area of Marseille. Two of these students, Edouard Grange and Raymond Coumes, contact Antoine Susini and Jean Fabre, the president and secretary of the Stade Marseillais. It doesn’t take long before an agreement is reached.

On June 11, 1923, the Sports Marseillais Universié Club and the Stade Marseillais merge into the Stade Marseillais Université Club. Members meet at the Café de la Banque, in the boulevard Paul Peytral, in the 6th district of Marseille.
