AJ Auxerre

Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise, or AJ Auxerre, is a French football team, founded in 1905, playing in the town of Auxerre in Burgundy. Its home ground is Stade l'Abbé-Deschamps on the banks of the River Yonne (capacity 23,467, 22,000 seated). Auxerre are famous throughout Europe, their success at the highest level being unprecedented for a club from such a small town (under 40,000).
