Les rouges et jaunes US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole
France · Founded: 1902
US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole is a French football club based in the Normandy region, officially created in its current form in 2015, although its origins go back to 1902 with the founding of US Quevilly. The club comes from the city of Le Petit-Quevilly, near Rouen, and traditionally represents a strong regional identity shaped by working-class football culture. It plays its home matches at the Stade Robert-Diochon and is known for its yellow and red colors.
In its early history under the US Quevilly name, the club became famous as one of France’s strongest amateur sides, especially in the mid-20th century. It won multiple national amateur championships and built a reputation for punching above its weight despite limited resources. One of its most remarkable achievements came in 1927, when it reached the Coupe de France final, an early sign of its competitive strength on the national stage.
In modern times, the club has experienced rapid rises through the French football system, reaching professional levels and even playing in Ligue 2. It also earned national attention by reaching the Coupe de France final in 2012, a historic run for a lower-tier team. Despite relegations and financial limitations, US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole remains known for its resilience, strong development focus, and ability to challenge stronger opponents in cup competitions.
