History

The parent club was founded in 1948, with the merger of two multi-sport clubs in Lyon and vicinity; ASVEL is an acronym combining the names of the predecessor clubs—Association Sportive Villeurbanne and Éveil Lyonnais. In its history, ASVEL has won 21 French Pro A League championships, 10 French Cups, two French Supercups, one French Federation Cup, and one Semaine des As Cup (French Pro A Leaders Cup), which makes it the most titled basketball club in France.

In 2014, former San Antonio Spurs star and France national team player, Tony Parker, became the club's president.

In the French Pro A League 2015–16 season, ASVEL won its 18th French League title, after beating Strasbourg IG 3 games to 2 in the French Pro A League Finals. ASVEL was down 2–0 in the series, but won three games in a row to take the championship.{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/featured/262560/villeurbanne-completes-total-comeback-to-win-the-championship/|title=Villeurbanne completes total comeback to win the championship|date=14 June 2016|website=Eurohoops}}

In March 2017, NBA player, Nicolas Batum, became a shareholder in Infinity Nine Sports, the main investment company behind the club, and took over the position as director of basketball operations. Tony Parker remained majority owner, and ASVEL President.{{Cite news|url=http://www.sportando.com/en/europe/france/230484/nicolas-batum-becomes-shareholder-of-tony-parker-s-asvel-and-director-of-basketball-operations.html|title=Nicolas Batum becomes shareholder of Tony Parker's ASVEL and director of basketball operations|work=Sportando|access-date=2017-03-31|language=en}} In 2018, the club signed a 10-year name sponsorship agreement with Groupe LDLC. The club also changed its main team colors from the original white and green to white and black, and changed its main logo design.

In 2019, ASVEL returned to the EuroLeague after the organisation decided to give the team a wild card for two years.{{cite news |date=5 July 2018 |title=EuroLeague & EuroCup clubs, domestic leagues shape 2018-19 season |work=Euroleague Basketball |url=https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague-basketball/news/i/8upbgm87oq6whvwt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711201715/https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague-basketball/news/i/8upbgm87oq6whvwt |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 July 2019 |access-date=11 July 2019 }}

In the 2021–22 season, ASVEL won its third Pro A championship in a row, its first three-peat in 32 years after beating Monaco in the Finals.{{Cite web |date=2022-06-25 |title=Le triplé pour Lyon-Villeurbanne ! |url=https://www.lnb.fr/elite/le-triple-pour-lyon-villeurbanne/ |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=Betclic ELITE |language=fr}}

In July 2016, ASVEL announced that it would build a new multi-functional arena, with a projected seating capacity between 12,000 and 16,000 people, depending on the configuration.{{Cite web |title=First seat put in place at ASVEL's new arena! {{!}} Euroleague Basketball |url=https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/news/tony-parker-touts-ldlc-arena-milestone-one-of-the-nicest-in-the-world/ |access-date=2022-11-04 |website=Euroleague Basketball |language=en-GB}} The arena is projected to cost €60 million.{{cite web|url=http://www.lemoniteur.fr/article/villeurbanne-la-future-arena-de-l-asvel-sera-realisee-par-le-groupe-floriot-et-dcb-international-32664503 |title=Villeurbanne: la future Arena de l'Asvel sera réalisée par le groupe Floriot et DCB International |date=12 July 2016 |publisher=Lemoniteur.fr |access-date=2017-02-23}} The new arena will be named the LDLC Arena, and its design and construction were given to architectural firm Populous and Citinea.{{Cite web |date=2021-12-07 |title=New Lyon venue to be named LDLC Arena |url=https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2021/12/07/new-lyon-venue-to-be-named-ldlc-arena/ |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=The Stadium Business |language=en-GB}} Construction began in January 2022 and was opened in November 2023.{{Cite web |last=Chabas |first=Gwendal |date=2022-01-13 |title=OL - Asvel : les travaux pour l'Arena ont débuté |url=https://www.olympique-et-lyonnais.com/ol-asvel-les-travaux-pour-larena-ont-debute,245277.html |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=Olympique & Lyonnais |language=fr-FR}}

Logos and branding

LDLC ASVEL Basket logo.png | (The official logo of the club, 2018–present)

On September 11, 2018, the club changed its name to LDLC ASVEL for sponsorship reasons. Along with this change, the club changed its main colors from green to black and white.{{cite web | title=Un Naming unique et innovant | website=LDLC ASVEL | url=https://ldlcasvel.com/naming-unique-innovant/ | access-date=12 September 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180912130948/https://ldlcasvel.com/naming-unique-innovant/ | archive-date=12 September 2018 | url-status=dead }} The decision was made with the explanation that, "when you are European, green is a colour that does not make you dream", and was followed by criticism from fans.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/sport/basket/basket-ldlc-asvel-quand-est-europeen-le-vert-n-est-pas-une-couleur-qui-fait-rever-5962670|title=Basket.
