托農埃維昂大日內瓦足球會（法語：Thonon Evian Grand Genève FC，簡稱Thonon Evian或更簡單的Évian），原名埃維昂托農加亞爾足球會（法語：Evian Thonon Gaillard Football Club，法語發音：[evjɑ̃ tɔnɔ̃ ɡajaʁ]）是法國的一個足球會，現比賽於法國全國乙組聯賽。
球會原本位於法國東南部鄰近瑞士邊界及日內瓦的市鎮加亞爾足球會，於2007年搬遷到托農萊班。
埃維昂以「Football Croix-de-Savoie 74」的名義成立，其後經歷兩次合併。首次化身成為「FC加亞爾」（FC Gaillard），存在於1924年至2003年之間，期間只獲得有限度的榮譽，僅於1999年奪得地區性聯賽冠軍。埃維昂在2007年成立後取得較大的成就，只花了3季便升上職業聯賽。球隊於2008年贏得法國業餘足球聯賽冠軍，於2009/10年球季以法丙冠軍身份升班法乙，隨即再奪冠而連續兩年升班到法甲作賽[1]。
埃維昂原採用球會基地的約瑟夫·穆瓦納運動場（Stade Joseph-Moynat）進行主場賽事，但於升班法乙後球場不符合法國職業足球聯賽的規格，於2010/11年球季開始暫時遷往鄰近安錫的體育公園球場（Parc des Sports），球會正計劃興建新球場或改建約瑟夫-摩歷球場。在搬到現時的球場前，埃維昂曾尋求借用鄰近的日內瓦的日內瓦運動場。
歷史
Évian Thonon Gaillard Football Club was formed in 2003 under the name Football Croix-de-Savoie 74 as a result of a merger between FC Gaillard and FC Ville-la-Grand. Gaillard was founded in 1924 and spent most of its life playing in the Ligue Rhône-Alpes, while Ville-la-Grand was founded in 1928. The new club finished 3rd in the Championnat de France amateur (CFA) Groupe B section for the 2003–04 season. Normally, only the top club in each of the four amateur groups are promoted to the Championnat National; however, both the 1st and 2nd placed clubs in the group were reserve sides of professional teams, namely Lyon and Metz. As such, Croix-de-Savoie was promoted.[2] The club's first season in National saw them narrowly avoid relegation, finishing 14th out of 20, two points above relegated 17th place Besançon.[3] The 2005–06 season was less successful; Croix-de-Savoie finished 18th with 41 points, one point behind SO Châtellerault, thus falling back to the fourth division.[4] Croix-de-Savoie's average attendance also dropped from 933 to 716.[5]
In 2007, the club underwent a further merger, this time with local team Olympique Thonon-Chablais; the club's name changed once again, with it becoming known as Olympique Croix-de-Savoie 74. Whilst the former club had been heavily associated with the commune of Gaillard, the new club moved to the nearby commune of Thonon-les-Bains because the stadium in Gaillard was, in August 2005, deemed unfit for use in the National division. The decision resulted in club being forced to move to Stade Joseph-Moynat in Thonon, a facility with 2,700 seats and a capacity of 6,000. The club returned to the Championnat National as the CFA Group B winners, for the 2008–09 season. In the summer of 2009, the president of the Groupe Danone, Franck Riboud, was made honorary president of the football club. Riboud yet again changed the name of the team to Évian Thonon Gaillard Football Club. He also put money into the team in order to improve the youth system of the club and harbored aspirations of the side achieving promotion to Ligue 2.[6] On 16 April 2010, the club completed the feat in Riboud's first season presiding over the club achieving promotion to Ligue 2, for the first time, following its 1–0 victory over Amiens.
After earning promotion to Ligue 2 for the 2010–11 season, Évian were rumored to be pursuing a move to play its home matches at the Stade de la Praille in Geneva, Switzerland after it was determined that the club's current facility, the Stade Joseph-Moynat, did not meet the Ligue de Football Professionnel's (LFP) standards. Thonon-les-Bains, the commune where the club situates itself, is a few kilometers from the Swiss border and is only 34.6公里（21.5英里）, 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.[7] 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.[8] 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 (FFF) 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.[9][10] 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.[11]
On 9 January 2011, Évian recorded an upset victory over the defending French champions Marseille in the Coupe de France. The team defeated the Ligue 1 club 3–1 in the Round of 64.[12] Strong form throughout the season saw Évian secure a second successive promotion as champions of Ligue 2.
