Football Club de Rouen 1899, commonly known as FC Rouen, is a historic French football club based in Rouen, the capital of Normandy. The club was founded in 1899, making it one of the oldest football clubs in France.
FC Rouen's history is marked by periods of success and struggle. The club's golden era was in the mid-20th century when they were a regular fixture in the top tier of French football, Ligue 1. During this time, they produced several notable players, including French international Jean Nicolas, who remains the club's all-time top scorer. FC Rouen's most significant achievement came in 1964 when they reached the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.
However, the club's fortunes declined in the late 20th century, and they experienced a series of relegations. Financial difficulties compounded these on-field struggles, leading to the club's dissolution in 1995. A new entity, Football Club de Rouen 1899, was formed in the same year, but it has largely competed in the lower tiers of French football.
Despite these challenges, FC Rouen has maintained a loyal fan base. The club's home ground, the Stade Robert Diochon, regularly attracts passionate supporters who are drawn to the team's rich history and enduring spirit. The club's traditional colours are red and white, and their nickname is "Les Diables Rouges" (The Red Devils).
In recent years, FC Rouen has shown signs of revival. The club has made progress in the French football league system and has invested in youth development, demonstrating a commitment to nurturing local talent. While FC Rouen may not currently enjoy the same prominence as during its mid-20th century heyday, the club remains a significant part of Rouen's sporting landscape and an important symbol of the city's footballing heritage.
