About Angoulême Charente FC

Angoulême Charente FC is a French football club from the city of Angoulême. It was founded in 1920 as SC Angoulême and is best known as AS Angoulême, the name it carried from 1948 to 1992. It was renamed AS Angoulême Charente 92 in 1992 and took its current name in 2005. The club plays at the Stade Camille-Lebon, which holds 6,500 spectators.

Angoulême was promoted to the French Division 1 in 1969 and finished a surprising fourth in its first season, 1969–70. That earned it a place in the 1970–71 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where it lost 3–0 away to Vitória de Guimarães and won the return match 3–1, going out on aggregate.

The club finished 16th the following season, avoiding relegation by a single point, and was relegated in last place in 1971–72. It has never returned to the top flight and today plays in the Championnat National.
