Sporting Club de Bastia (Corsican: Sporting Club di Bastia, commonly referred to as SC Bastia or simply Bastia) is a French association football club based in Bastia on the island of Corsica. The club plays in Championnat National, the third tier of French football, after being demoted two levels from Ligue 1 in 2017 due to financial difficulties after playing in the first tier for five seasons.
