Saran Loiret Handball is a French handball team based in Saran, that plays in the LNH Division 1.
History
The club was founded in 1974. In 2002, he reached the 3rd division for the first time. In 2015, after several second places, the team was promoted to the second division. In the first season in the second division, they finally won the championship in the last round and were thus promoted to the first division. In its first season in the first division, the club changed its name to Saran Loiret Handball. In order to maintain his position, the team signed the French world champion Igor Anić.[1] The club had the smallest budget in the league[2] at the time and were almost relegated at the end of the season. The following year, the club signed Spanish world champion Chema Rodríguez,[3] who was joined in 2018 by another Spanish world champion, José Manuel Sierra.[4] However, during his second season, the club was relegated to the second division. After promotion to Ligue 1 in 2023, the first team will leave Saran and play their home games at the Palais des sports d'Orléans.[5]
