Elle naît plus précisément en tant que section sportive de l'«&#;Amicale des employés de la Société des magasins Casino&#;», l’organisation créée en par Casino pour accompagner sa politique de corporatisme sportif. L'amicale reprend logiquement à son compte la couleur verte de la chaîne d'épiceries[],[].
Quelques mois après la naissance de la Fédération française de football-association (FFFA), l'Amicale, plus communément désignée «&#;AS Casino&#;» (ASC), ouvre sa section football en , en complément d'autres disciplines telles que l'athlétisme ou le basket-ball. Le , sous l'impulsion d'Albert Jacquet, secrétaire général de l'entreprise, l'AS Casino devient l'«&#;Amical Sporting Club&#;» afin de respecter le règlement adopté par la Fédération interdisant l'utilisation des marques dans les noms des clubs, tout en en conservant les initiales. Le club est alors réservé aux employés de Casino, le centre d'entraînement se trouvant sur le terrain du «&#;Pont de l'âne&#;», propriété du groupe.
Sept ans plus tard, sous l'impulsion de Pierre Guichard, fils de Geoffroy Guichard devenu président du club à la suite de MM. Godot et Jean Moulin, l'Amical Sporting Club fusionne avec le Stade forézien universitaire au sein de l'«&#;Association sportive stéphanoise&#;» (ASS), qui conserve notamment la couleur verte de l'ASC.
En , la fédération française vote l'adoption du professionnalisme en France. Il devient nécessaire pour l'ASS, dont les dirigeants sont ambitieux, d'avoir son propre stade. Le fondateur du groupe Casino achète un vaste terrain qu'il cède au club. Une souscription auprès des «&#;amis&#;» du club permet de réunir la somme nécessaire à la construction d'une première enceinte, baptisée stade Geoffroy-Guichard[],[].

Casino and the world of sport[edit]
Casino and sport association[edit]
In , Saint-Etienne Sports Association was created, dedicated exclusively to football.Scene of game between the Olympique de Marseille and the AS Saint-Etienne in Casino Group is at the origin of the AS Saint-Étienne football Club created in , the Sports Social Club of Saint-Étienne. It was born more precisely as a sports section of the «&#;Employees’ Social Club of the Casino store company&#;», the organization created in by Casino to support its sports corporatism policy. The Social Club logically takes on board the green colour of the grocery chain.[63]&#;&#; .[64] A few months after the creation of the French Football Association-Federation (FFAF), the Social Club, more commonly named «&#;AS Casino&#;» (ASC), opened its football section in , as well as other disciplines such as athletics and basketball. On 29 March , under the initiative of Albert Jacquet, general secretary of the company, AS Casino became «&#;the Social Sports Club&#;» in order to respect the rules adopted by the Federation prohibiting the use of brands in the names of clubs, as well as keeping the initials. The club was then reserved to Casino employees and the training centre was located on the «&#;Pont de l'âne&#;» field, property of the Group. Seven years later, under the initiative of Pierre Guichard, son of Geoffroy Guichard who had become president of the club after MM. Godot and Jean Moulin, the Social Sports Club merged with the University Forez Stadium within the «&#;Stéphanoise Sports Association&#;» (SSA), which kept of course the green colour of the ASC. In , the French Federation voted for the adoption of professionalism in France. It became necessary for the SSA, whose managers were ambitious, to have its own stadium. The founder of Casino Group purchased a large field and gave it to the club. A membership offered to «&#;friends&#;» of the club helped gather the necessary funds to build the first facilities, later named Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.[65]
Cyclism[edit]
In , Casino Group became the main sponsor of the current AG2R La Mondiale cycling team. The team therefore took the name «&#;Petit Casino – C’est votre équipe&#;».[66] In the following year, Casino increased its funding and AG2R Provident Insurance became the second sponsor. The team doubled its budget, which went to 25 million Francs, and took the name "Casino-AG2R Prévoyance" from to Casino's commitment finished at the end of the season. Over 3 years, the team also won 3 stages of the Tour de France, one stage of the Tour of Spain, 3 major classics and many national championships. It counted athletes such as Alexandre Vinokourov, Benoît Salmon or even Jaan Kirsipuu. The Casino «&#;green&#;» Green is the traditional colour of Casino Group. It was the colour of the blinds in the former lyrical Casino, which was situated rue des Jardins in Saint-Etienne.

Casino and the world of sport[edit]
Casino and sport association[edit]
Casino Group is at the origin of the AS Saint-Étienne football Club created in , the Sports Social Club of Saint-Étienne. It was born more precisely as a sports section of the «&#;Employees’ Social Club of the Casino store company&#;», the organization created in by Casino to support its sports corporatism policy. The Social Club logically takes on board the green colour of the grocery chain.[63]&#;&#; .[64] A few months after the creation of the French Football Association-Federation (FFAF), the Social Club, more commonly named «&#;AS Casino&#;» (ASC), opened its football section in , as well as other disciplines such as athletics and basketball. On 29 March , under the initiative of Albert Jacquet, general secretary of the company, AS Casino became «&#;the Social Sports Club&#;» in order to respect the rules adopted by the Federation prohibiting the use of brands in the names of clubs, as well as keeping the initials. The club was then reserved to Casino employees and the training centre was located on the «&#;Pont de l'âne&#;» field, property of the Group. Seven years later, under the initiative of Pierre Guichard, son of Geoffroy Guichard who had become president of the club after MM. Godot and Jean Moulin, the Social Sports Club merged with the University Forez Stadium within the «&#;Stéphanoise Sports Association&#;» (SSA), which kept of course the green colour of the ASC. In , the French Federation voted for the adoption of professionalism in France. It became necessary for the SSA, whose managers were ambitious, to have its own stadium. The founder of Casino Group purchased a large field and gave it to the club. A membership offered to «&#;friends&#;» of the club helped gather the necessary funds to build the first facilities, later named Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.[65]
Cyclism[edit]
In , Casino Group became the main sponsor of the current AG2R La Mondiale cycling team. The team therefore took the name «&#;Petit Casino – C’est votre équipe&#;».[66] In the following year, Casino increased its funding and AG2R Provident Insurance became the second sponsor. The team doubled its budget, which went to 25 million Francs, and took the name "Casino-AG2R Prévoyance" from to Casino's commitment finished at the end of the season. Over 3 years, the team also won 3 stages of the Tour de France, one stage of the Tour of Spain, 3 major classics and many national championships. It counted athletes such as Alexandre Vinokourov, Benoît Salmon or even Jaan Kirsipuu. The Casino «&#;green&#;» Green is the traditional colour of Casino Group. It was the colour of the blinds in the former lyrical Casino, which was situated rue des Jardins in Saint-Etienne.

Jean-Charles Naouri prend la présidence opérationnelle du groupe Casino en et modifie en profondeur le profil du distributeur. Il revend les activités de l’entreprise peu rentables en Pologne, aux États-Unis, à Taïwan et aux Pays-Bas et renforce sa présence dans des pays en forte croissance[Quand&#;?]. Le groupe Casino devient ainsi le premier distributeur alimentaire en Amérique du Sud (Brésil et Colombie notamment), dans l’Océan Indien, au Vietnam et le deuxième en Thaïlande[Quand&#;?].
Toutefois, la croissance du groupe sous son ère s'est faite au moyen de montages financiers complexes et d'un très fort endettement, qui obère sa rentabilité[49]. En décembre , Casino est attaqué par le fonds spéculatif Muddy Waters Research[50]. En janvier , l'agence de notation Standard & Poor's dégrade la note de crédit du groupe, et le place sous surveillance négative[51]. En , le groupe annonce la vente de sa participation de 59&#;% dans ses activités thaïlandaises Big C pour 3,1&#;milliards d'euros. En avril, l’entreprise annonce la vente de Big C Vietnam à Central Group pour 1 milliard de dollars[52], ce qui doit selon ses annonces lui permettre de ramener son endettement de 8,4 milliards d'euros à 5 milliards[53] . Le groupe annonce également sa volonté de céder sa filiale Via Varejo au Brésil. En , le groupe Casino signe un accord avec le britannique Ocado, leader mondial de la distribution alimentaire en ligne, pour développer en France une plateforme technologique qui comprend notamment un entrepôt automatisé[54]. Monoprix devrait pouvoir utiliser le premier cette plateforme en De nombreuses rumeurs naissent en sur la volonté supposée d’Amazon, leader mondial du commerce électronique de s’associer à une enseigne de distribution en France[55]. C’est finalement le groupe Casino qui conclut en un accord avec la firme de Seattle. Les deux groupes annoncent un partenariat commercial visant à proposer les produits alimentaires de Monoprix aux clients d’Amazon Prime Now. En , le groupe Casino et Auchan Retail entament des négociations exclusives en vue d’établir un partenariat stratégique leur permettant de négocier ensemble leurs achats en France et à l’international. Ce partenariat prend la suite de l’alliance d’achat entre Casino et Intermarché en [56].
En , le groupe Casino expérimente pour la première fois en France l'ouverture d'une grande surface 24h/24[57], y compris le dimanche. Sous enseigne Franprix, ce supermarché situé dans le quartier des Halles reste ouvert en dehors des horaires classiques, en présence de vigiles qui surveillent les rayons et les caisses automatiques du magasin. L'ouverture nocturne et dominicale est censé répondre aux besoins de la clientèle urbaine aux horaires décalés[58]. Depuis ce premier test, plusieurs magasins du groupe Casino ont emboîté le pas, sous enseignes Monoprix[59], Franprix et Casino[60]. En , le groupe Carrefour ouvre également son premier magasin 24h/24 dans Paris[61]. Ces ouvertures en horaires étendus relancent régulièrement le débat sur l'automatisation de la grande distribution et la destruction d'emplois qu'elle pourrait engendrer[62].
En , Casino met en place un plan de cession des murs de 26 de ses hypermarchés et supermarchés pour &#;millions d'euros. Par ailleurs il cède 6&#;hypermarchés à des adhérents Leclerc. En , le groupe a réduit sa participation de 40 à 25&#;% dans Mercialys, et cédé l'immobilier de 67 de ses Monoprix[63].

En , Casino annonce un partenariat avec Amazon, lui permettant de distribuer ses produits sur la plateforme internet d'Amazon et l'installation de 1&#;&#;Lockers en France dans les magasins de Casino[66].
En , très endettée avec une dette globale de 3,3&#;milliards d'euros, la société Rallye, holding de contrôle de Casino et Go Sport, est placée sous la protection du tribunal de commerce de Paris et obtient l'ouverture d'une procédure de sauvegarde[67]. En , le groupe Casino annonce la vente de sa filiale Vindémia, présente à la Réunion, sur l'île Maurice, à Mayotte et à Madagascar, pour &#;millions d'euros au Groupe Bernard Hayot, franchisé à la Réunion du groupe Carrefour. Ce dernier s'engage à vendre 4&#;hypermarchés, ayant &#;employés sur les 4&#; que compte le groupe Vindémia[68]. Le Groupe Casino annonce le 30 juin avoir finalisé cette cession[69].
Régulièrement suspecté d'opacité dans son organisation capitalistique[70], le groupe Casino entreprend en de simplifier sa structure en Amérique du Sud. Ce projet de simplification vise à regrouper l'ensemble de ses actifs sous une même bannière GPA qui contrôlerait alors, outre les activités brésiliennes, le Groupe Éxito et ses activités en Colombie ainsi que ses filiales en Uruguay et en Argentine[71],[72]. En septembre, le groupe annonce la signature des accords avec GPA et Groupe Éxito en vue du lancement par GPA d'une offre publique d'achat sur Éxito[73].
Le distributeur stéphanois annonce en entrer en négociation avec son concurrent allemand Aldi pour lui céder sa filiale discount Leader Price[74]. Cette opération s'inscrit dans le plan de cessions d'actifs de 2&#;milliards d'euros annoncé en août par Casino, et sa volonté de se concentrer sur les formats qu'il considère comme porteurs (commerce en ligne, le commerce dit «&#;haut de gamme&#;» et le commerce de proximité)[75]. En , le groupe Casino annonce la signature d'un accord avec Aldi France pour la cession de magasins sur les magasins Leader Price et ainsi que d’entrepôts de l'enseigne, pour millions d’euros[76]. Casino garde la marque Leader Price, ainsi que les magasins en franchise[77]. Le même mois la presse annonce que le groupe Carrefour souhaiterait lancer une offre de rachat de Casino, permettant ainsi de rembourser les dettes de la maison mère Rallye. Les deux sociétés démentent, le projet n’aboutit pas[78].
Sur l'ensemble de l'année , le groupe Casino enregistre un chiffre d'affaires de 31,9 milliards d'euros, mais déplore une perte nette de millions d'euros, en raison de charges exceptionnelles et de dépréciations d'actifs à la suite notamment de la cession de centaines de magasins Leader Price à Aldi. Sa dette reste élevée malgré les cessions, à 3,9 milliards d'euros, ce qui provoque des craintes chez les investisseurs[79]. Afin de pouvoir honorer ses échéances, le groupe négocie ou initie plusieurs actions de restructuration de ses prêts, afin d'en allonger la durée[80].
En juillet , Floa Bank est vendue à BNP Paribas pour millions d'euros[81].
Lors de l'année , Casino parvient à réduire sa perte nette à millions d'euros mais le groupe reste dans le rouge alors que ses ventes baissent de 4,3&#;% à 30,5 milliards d'euros dont 7,5&#;% en France ( pour un total de 14 milliards d'euros)[82].
