The team introduces itself
The Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace is a historic French football club. Founded in 1906, it was Champion of France in 1979, three times winner of the Coupe de France, three times winner of the Coupe de la Ligue and played more than 2,000 matches in Ligue 1.
Economic engine, vector of attractiveness and notoriety, creator of social ties, Racing is a popular club with strong local roots. The Club is recognized for the warm, friendly and festive welcome of its public. Its supporters, renowned for their passion and loyalty, led the Club to win the French Grandstand Championship organized by the Professional Football League.
Furthermore, the RCSA is partly known for its successful sporting rise over the last twelve years. Marked by judicial liquidation in 2011, the Club managed to regain the French Ligue 1 Championship, in the space of six seasons, and to win the League Cup in 2019. This victory also brought the Club to participate in the preliminary rounds of the Europa League during the 2019-2020 season.
Recently bought by a consortium of investors, the Club chaired by Marc Keller aims to qualify and participate in European competitions on a regular basis. This project is part of a three-pronged project: Sports: with the development of the Academy and its women’s section which aims to reach D1; Territorial: with the desire to be as close as possible to Alsatians, and in particular to those who are suffering through the Femmes de Football association; Economic: with the ambition to develop the club’s income, notably through the extension and renovation of its stadium.
The Club has one of the highest attendance rates at the Stade la Meinau in the French Ligue 1 Championship. Beyond the stadium, the Club has been able to build a community of fans that goes beyond the borders of the Grand Est. The values of proximity and sharing have been translated onto social networks bringing together more than a million supporters.
