Presentation of the FCNA

The FC Nantes Atlantique was founded in 1946 as the FC Nantes by the merging of several amateur clubs of the city of Nantes. It joined the First League in 1963 and never left it since then. Nantes was national champion in 1965, 1966, 1973, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1995 and 2001; won the national cup in 1979, 1999 and 2000; was semi-finalist of the European Cup Winners' Cup (the defunct C2) in 1980; and was semi-finalist of the Champions' League in 1996.
