for the 2010–11 season, Évian were rumored to be pursuing a move to play their home matches at the Stade de la Praille
in Geneva
, Switzerland
after it was determined that their current facility, the Stade Joseph-Moynat
, did not meet the Ligue de Football Professionnel
's standards. Thonon-les-Bains
, the commune
where the club situates itself, is a few kilometers from the Swiss border and is only 34.6 kilometres (21.5 mi), a 45 minute car drive, from the city of Geneva. It was reported that the club's president, Patrick Trotignon, had been in the process of advocating for the move since the beginning of the 2009–10 Championnat National
season just in case the club had achieved promotion to the second division. The vice-president of Swiss club Servette FC
, who occupy the stadium, questioned the move citing possible schedule conflicts, as well as the health of the pitch if both clubs were to use the stadium on a weekly basis. However, his claims were refuted by Benoît Genecand, who serves as president of Fondation du Stade de Genève (FSG), which owns and operates the facility. The club responded immediately to Genecand's comments via a press release posted on the club's official website.
Évian petitioned to the State Council of Geneva and obtained approval from the LFP for the move in early May. On 20 May 2010, Évian received a favorable ruling from the French Football Federation
with the Federal Council voting in favor of the move. According to the federation, the move now had to be agreed upon by a UEFA
executive committee, which is composed of seventeen officials. On 8 June, UEFA officially denied Évian's request to play at the Stade de la Praille meaning the club will likely play its home matches at the Parc des Sports
in nearby Annecy
