About Angers SCO

Angers SCO is a French professional football club based in Angers, founded in 1919. The club was created in the same year as the French Football Federation and gradually developed from a regional team into a stable professional side. It plays its home matches at the Stade Raymond Kopa and is known for its black and white identity and strong regional support in western France.

Over its history, Angers has spent much of its time moving between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, building a reputation as a resilient club rather than a dominant one. It first reached the top division in the 1950s and later experienced long periods in the second tier, but also enjoyed notable moments such as reaching the Coupe de France final in 1957 and returning to Ligue 1 in 2015 after a long absence.

In recent years, Angers has alternated between stability and struggle in the top flight. The club achieved a strong return to Ligue 1 in 2015 and managed several solid mid-table seasons, but later faced relegation again in 2023 before quickly returning to the top division. Today, it continues to focus on maintaining its place in Ligue 1 through collective play, development, and careful management.
