RC Lens History
|
Racing Club de Lens is a French
football club which plays in the city of Lens. Its nickname,
sang et or (literally, 'blood and gold'), comes from its
traditional colors of red and gold.
The club has long marketed itself as a regional club rather than
a town-based outfit, and has become noted for its strong support
across its region, despite the fact that a second top-level
team, Lille OSC, is located in nearby Lille. The club's ground,
Stade Félix Bollaert, seats 41,233 — in a city of about 37,000
inhabitants (although Lens is at the center of a considerably
more populous area).
Lens has been competitive in the top level of French football in
recent years, winning the league in the 1997-98 season, and
finishing second in 2001-02. |
