History
CRO Lyon experienced in elite (National 1A) of the championship of France in the 1970s and the early 1990s but stopped its activities (budget problems in 1996) before returning to lower levels. The club return to the top flight was possible thanks to financial support from Roger Caille,[1] CEO of Jet Service, the club then called Jet Lyon.
