Toulouse history
Toulouse Football Club, Tolosa Fotbòl Club in Occitan, was founded in 1970 and plays in Ligue 1. Fans call the team Les Violets.
The club's top honor is the 2023 Coupe de France. It has also won the second-tier Ligue 2 three times. Toulouse has played in Europe six times, including 2007, when it reached the Champions League for the first time. Off the field the club has had its share of upheaval. A bankruptcy in 2001 sent it down to the Championnat National, and French businessman Olivier Sadran took over after that. Damien Comolli followed him as president, and when Comolli left in July 2025, Olivier Cloarec was appointed. Toulouse has also served as a launch pad for talent. Fabien Barthez, the goalkeeper who went on to win the World Cup, came through here, as did strikers Wissam Ben Yedder, Martin Braithwaite and André-Pierre Gignac.
