==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 [[LNH Division 2|second division]]. In the first season in the [[LNH Division 2|second division]], they finally won the championship in the last round and were thus promoted to the [[LNH Division 1|first division]]. In its first season in the [[LNH Division 1|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]].<ref>https://www.larep.fr/saran-45770/sports/handball-d1-le-champion-du-monde-francais-igor-anic-signe-au-saran-hb_11955616/</ref> The club had the smallest budget in the league<ref>https://www.midilibre.fr/2016/09/20/dans-l-ombre-du-paris-sg,1396391.php</ref> at the time and were almost relegated at the end of the season. The following year, the club signed Spanish world champion [[Chema Rodríguez (handballer)|Chema Rodríguez]],<ref>https://handnews.fr/2017/starligue-saran-passe-vitesse-superieure-chema-rodriguez/</ref> who was joined in 2018 by another Spanish world champion, [[José Manuel Sierra]].<ref>https://www.larep.fr/saran-45770/sports/handball-sierra-un-deuxieme-champion-du-monde-a-saran_12741323/</ref> However, during his second season, the club was relegated to the [[LNH Division 2|second division]]. After promotion to Ligue 1 in 2023, the first team will leave [[Saran, Loiret|Saran]] and play their home games at the [[Palais des Sports (Orléans)|Palais des sports d'Orléans]].<ref>https://www.francebleu.fr/sports/basket-handball-volley/handball-les-septors-de-saran-demenagent-au-palais-des-sports-d-orleans-1578700</ref>
