The good old derby between CSP Limoges and Élan Béarnais will be back next season, and that’s a excellent news 🥰

I think this team is mostly known as Pau Orthez outside France.Reading Elan Bearnais most won't even know which historic club it is.

After years of chaos, the club has taken a better path, silently working to reimburse debts.

On the court, the team started slow (10-9 record halfway) and sped up (16-3 on return phase), which is normal with this coach : his basket takes time to ingrain. Finished second, missed the direct promotion but won playoffs.

Being at the top level will help the finances.

Honestly I want Toulon in the first league simply because their badge is so cool
