History

In 1919 founded the multi-sports Sporting Club de Paris Orleans, a sports club of railwaymen which consists of 4 sections. In 1932 created the basketball section under the patronage of the backbone of Sportive d’Ivry-Port. In 1936 created the National Society of French Railways (SNCF) and the SCPO then changes its name to Sporting Club de Préparation Olympique. The club under the new name became champion of France in 1935-36 and 1937-38 beating Métro during two final games. In 1966 the basketball section disappears to reappear in 1999. In 1972 SCPO again changes its name to the Sporting Cheminot de Pratiques Omnisports.
