RC Lens 2025–26
Ligue 1 · Stade Bollaert-Delelis · Lens, Hauts-de-France
Racing Club de Lens — the "Sang et Or", Blood and Gold — is one of French football's most passionate and historically rich clubs. Born from the coal-mining communities of northern France, Lens carries the working-class soul of its city in every match. The Stade Bollaert-Delelis is a fortress of noise, one of Ligue 1's most intimidating atmospheres, with fans who treat every home game as a matter of civic pride. After years in the lower divisions, Lens returned to the top flight and in 2022–23 achieved a stunning second-place finish in Ligue 1, qualifying for the Champions League group stage for the first time in over two decades. That resurgence announced Lens as a genuine force in French football, and they continue to push the boundaries of what a community-rooted, financially modest club can achieve in 2025–26.
