CLUB PRO TEAM TRAINING FAN ZONE TICKETS PARTNERS 2016-2017 SEASON Club history Tweeter The Stade Philippin Omnisports Rouen Basket-Ball, more commonly known as SPO Rouen Basket, is part of the omnisports club called Stade Philippin Omnisports Rouen. The latter, founded in 1892 by Henri Foursin under the name of "the house of the Filipinos", was placed under the patronage of Saint Philippe Néri in 1893 (hence its name "Filipino"). In 1899 the SPN Gymnastics was born: this section brings together apparatus, fencing and French boxing. Thanks to the 1901 law, the SPN association was created. This will lead to a football and athletics section, and the CSP: the Philippine Sports Club. The end of World War II saw the creation of additional sections: tennis, archery, rhythmic dance, table tennis, handball and especially basketball, from 1945. In 1952, the Filipino Sporting Group of Rouen came into being, a merger between the CSP and the GAR. In 1961, a new merger between the Filipinos of Rouen and the SPES (Society for the Preparation of Sports Education) which then became the SPOR. In 1974, Stade Philippins Omnisports Rouen had 15 teams for around 100 licensees. The SPO Rouen Basket-Ball won the title of Champion of France of Nationale 3 in 1998 and became, by its results, an independent association in 2000. On July 1, 2011, the SPO Rouen Basket-Ball went into society and then became the SASP SPO Rouen Basket-Ball. On May 5, 2012, SPO Rouen played against Denain (95-75 victory) their last official meeting in their room at Les Cotonniers. The club will evolve from the following season at the Kindarena in Rouen. On May 18, 2012, after 25 years of coaching, the emblematic SPOR coach Michel Veyronnet made his departure from the Rouen bench official and was appointed General Manager of the club. His successor is none other than the former French international Laurent Sciarra. Mr. Yvan Gueuder becomes at the same time the new President of the SPO Rouen Basket. On June 8, 2014, the SPO obtained an invitation from the National Basketball League to play in Pro A during the 2014/15 season due to the move to 18 clubs. On July 17, 2015, the SPO Rouen Basket becomes the Rouen Métropole Basket.
