Racing Club de France football Colombes 92 (French pronunciation: ​[ʁasiŋ klœb də fʁɑ̃s]; also known as Racing Paris, RCF Paris, Matra Racing, Racing Club, or simply Racing) is a French association football club formerly based in Colombes, a suburb of Paris.

Racing was founded in 1882 as a sports club and is one of the oldest clubs in French football history. The team currently plays in the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth level of French football. Racing is managed by former football player Azzedine Meguellatti and hosts its home matches at the Stade Lucien-Choine, an annexe, smaller stadium next to the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in nearby Colombes.[1][2]

Racing Club de France was founded in 1882 and has a rich history, despite the club's current status as an amateur club. Racing was one of the founding members of the French Division 1 and is one of the most successful clubs in French football history having won one Ligue 1 title, which came during the 1935–36 season and five Coupe de France titles, which is tied for fourth-best among clubs. Racing also played in the USFSA-sanctioned league, which was France's first-ever league championship. Racing made its debut in the league in 1899 and won the league in 1907 having previously finished as runner-up in 1902 and 1903.

Racing have unearthed several talented players during its early existence. Notably players who played at the club include Roger Marche, Oscar Heisserer, Thadée Cisowski, Raoul Diagne, Luis Fernández, Maxime Bossis, David Ginola, Luís Sobrinho, Pierre Littbarski, Enzo Francescoli and Rubén Paz among others. Diagne spent a decade with the club from 1930–1940 and, in 1931, became the first black player to play in the French national team. He later played on the team at the 1938 FIFA World Cup alongside Abdelkader Ben Bouali, his Racing teammate, who was one of the first players of North African descent to play for the national team. Between 2009 and 2012, the club moved to nearby Levallois-Perret after the club reached a financial agreement with the commune.

History

Racing Club de France is a historic team of French football, however, with a complicated history. During the 1900 Summer Olympics, the club hosted the athletic events at Croix-Catelan Stadium, which was the club's previous home.[3] Racing's days at its zenith were in the 1930s and 40s, when the club won the Division 1 in 1936, and the Coupe de France in 1936, 1939, 1940, 1945 and 1949. The club was also successful at the beginning of the 1960s, finishing runner-up of the first division in 1961 and 1962. However, midway through the decade, Racing became a significant focal point of the financial crisis that affected French football. The club's financial struggles resulted in its relegation to the lower divisions.

Racing was bought in the 1980s by French businessman Jean-Luc Lagardère who wanted to build a team of stars, however the purchase and notion turned out to be a failure and Lagardère sold the team shortly after. Since its relegation to the amateur levels, Racing is still seeking financial resources to develop the club. In December 2008, Georgios Kintis sought to buy the club, but failed to reach an agreement.[4]

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, the club reached a financial agreement with the city of Levallois. The club's association and support from the commune resulted in Racing changing its name to Racing Club de France Levallois 92.[5] However, despite assistance from Levallois, in July 2010, Racing was administratively relegated to the Championnat de France amateur 2 by the DNCG after it was determined that the club had a €500,000 financial debt. On 21 November 2010, Racing Levallois and UJA Alfortville announced plans to merge, starting next season. In 2012, Racing came back to Colombes and was renamed Racing Club de France Colombes 92.
