History

Nanterre 92 played in the French 2nd Division for the first time in the 2004–05 season. In 2007, the club made it to the finals of the French Cup. In 2011, the club won the French 2nd Division, and got promoted to the top national French League.

Climbing to the French Top (2012–present)

In the 2012–13 French League season, after finishing in the eight position of the regular season, Nanterre 92 won its first national title and thus qualified to play in the EuroLeague in the 2013–14 season.

In the 2013–14 season, Nanterre didn't manage to reach the Playoffs after finishing 10th in the Pro A season. Despite the disappointments in the competition, Nanterre 92 won the French Cup this season. SLUC Nancy was beaten 55–50 in the Final. In the Leaders Cup, Nanterre 92 reached the Final but lost to Le Mans Sarthe Basket. Nanterre also made its debut in the EuroLeague.

To start the 2014–15 season, Nanterre won the Match des Champions. On April 26, 2015, Nanterre won its first European trophy. In the 2015 EuroChallenge Final, it beat Trabzsonspor 63–64 on a buzzer-beater by T.J. Campbell.[1]

In February 2016, the team name was changed from JSF Nanterre to Nanterre 92.[2]
