Established during WWII in 1943 through the amalgamation of local clubs, Nantes, known as FC Nantes Atlantique from 1992 to 2007, reverted to its original name for the 07-08 season. Widely regarded as one of the most successful clubs in French football history, Nantes boasts an impressive trophy cabinet, including 8 Ligue 1 titles, 4 Coupe de France, and 1 Coupe de la Ligue.
What truly distinguishes Nantes is its iconic playing style, often referred to as the "Nantes style of play" or "jeu à la nantaise" in French, a legacy crafted by the legendary coach Jose Arribas. Characterised by an undeniable collective spirit, Nantes' commitment to this distinctive style has become synonymous with their identity on the field. The club's success is further underscored by its robust youth system, responsible for nurturing football luminaries such as Jeremy Toulalan, Christian Karembeu, Claude Makelele, Didier Deschamps, and Marcel Desailly, exemplifying Nantes' enduring impact on French football and its commitment to developing talent from within.
