FCBJ ( Football Club Bourgoin Jallieu )

What FCBJ ( Football Club Bourgoin Jallieu ) does

FCBJ (Football Club Bourgoin-Jallieu) is a French amateur/lower-tier football club founded in 1936 and based in Bourgoin-Jallieu, Isère, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The club operates as an association loi 1901 (non-profit sports association) with approximately 37 employees, and competes at the 5th tier of French football in National 3, having secured promotion to National 2 for the 2026/2027 season. Its product offering spans a senior men's team, a women's section (Section Féminine), and a multi-tier youth academy branded Académie BYmyCAR / Académie BMC, with age groups from U7 through U18 plus sport-study programs delivering documented outcomes including a 100% Baccalauréat pass rate and regional championship wins.

Revenue is generated from three streams: matchday ticket sales (10-25€ per tribune at Stade Pierre-Rajon and Stade de Chantereine), merchandise sales through partner Brouty Sports, and a sponsorship book composed of regional businesses (Crédit Mutuel de Bourgoin-Jallieu, KEOLIS Porte de l'Isère, BigMat Girardon, Lynx Optique, Safak Cuisines, SLBC, and Académie BYmyCAR as academy title sponsor). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the club's own billetterie-club.fr ticketing platform, on-site box office, and online boutique.

Operationally the club is governed by president D. Kolver and runs a coaching staff across all age groups. Recent strategic moves include the appointment of Fatsah Amghar as head coach for the N2 project, validation of the 2026-2027 budget by the DNCG, and a deepened partnership with Olympique Lyonnais (OLSFC) to host reserve team matches. Go-to-market relies on organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube) and the club's own website for news, match updates, and community engagement.
