Football Club de Nantes is a French football team, based in the city of Nantes, currently playing in Ligue 2, after 44 years in a row in Ligue 1.

The team has one of the most impressive histories in French football with 8 Ligue 1 titles and 3 Coupe de France. On the European level, the club reached the semi-finals of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1979-80 and UEFA Champions League 1995-96.

FC Nantes is also famous for its jeu à la nantaise, a tactic based on one touch, mainly used by coaches José Arribas, Jean-Claude Suaudeau and Raynald Denoueix, and for its youth system, which has produced players such as Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps or Christian Karembeu.
