Nice history
OGC Nice started out in 1904 as Gymnaste Club de Nice and helped launch France's first division as one of its original members. The club colors are red and black.
The 1950s were Nice's best decade. Coaches such as Numa Andoire, Jean Luciano and the Englishman William Berry led the team to most of its honors, which add up to four Ligue 1 titles, three Coupes de France and one Trophée des Champions. During that run Nice was one of the first French clubs to bring in foreign players successfully, among them Pancho Gonzales, Héctor de Bourgoing, Victor Nurenberg and Joaquín Valle. Valle remains the club's all-time top scorer and is often called its greatest player. The most recent trophy came in 1997, when Nice won the Coupe de France by beating Guingamp 4-3 on penalties. Today the team plays in Ligue 1 at the Allianz Riviera.
