Sport dans la Ville was created by Nicolas Eschermann and Philippe Oddou in 1998. During their studies at emlyon business school, the founders were thinking of creating a social project for young people in difficulty.
The goal was to promote the professional integration of young people by offering team sports sessions in the heart of the neighborhoods.
Sport dans la Ville was then developed through a strong entrepreneurial model, putting the tools of business at the service of the cause, and thus guaranteeing an impact for the young people supported by the Association.
