Limane Yacouba Sylla Football Club de Sassandra, commonly known as LYS Sassandra, is an Ivorian professional football club based in Sassandra. The club is a member of the Ivorian Football Federation Premiere Division. They play at the Robert Champroux Stadium.

In 2019, the club was promoted to the first division but finished second to last and was again relegated to the second division. As consolation, they won its first trophy this year, the Coupe de la Ligue de Côte d'Ivoire.

The club was promoted again to the Ivorian Ligue 1 in 2021 and ended its season in sixth place.
