The Football Club de Chambly Thelle or FC Chambly for short is a football club from Chambly , a municipality in the French department of Oise . The 9,000-inhabitant town is about halfway between Paris and Beauvais .

history

The club was founded in 1989 as Football Club de Chambly in competition with the local Club Olympique de Chambly by members of the Italian-born Luzi family, of whom Bruno was a player in the highest amateur leagues in France. His father Walter and his brother Fulvio were supporters of Inter Milan , which is why they took over the club colors black and blue for their club. Until the beginning of 2017, all club chairmen and coaches of the league team are members of this family. Initially, the team played, whose opponents had to change their cars in the first few years due to a lack of adequate installations “to have fun. But we won our games and then the ambitions came, ”said Fulvio Luzi.

In 2006, the FC expanded its name to include the Thelle landscape designation in order to secure the support of some neighboring communities. From 2008, the rise of the FC, which this year for the first time in its history in the accelerated d'Division Honneur , the highest regional league, took: In 2010 he got into the fifth, 2012 in the fourth and again only two years later in the third division . For the 2014/15 season, the budget of the “family business” was one million euros. Nevertheless, the club president saw problems for the team because all the players are employed and employers usually have to give them two days off for away games.

The club's league team played their home games at the Stade des Marais (officially: Enceinte du Mesnil-Saint-Martin ), which has a spectator capacity of 1,438 seats, including 438 seats. In 2015 the stadium was enlarged and currently has more than 3000 seats. After promotion to Ligue 2 (2019), FC will play their home games at the Stade Pierre Brisson in Beauvais.

League affiliation and achievements

The club had never had professional status before 2019, nor did they play first-class ( Division 1 , renamed Ligue 1 since 2002 ). In 2014 he was promoted to the semi-professional third division for the first time , in which he was represented until 2018/19.

So far, he has not had any great success in the state cup competition either. For the first time in 2011/12 and then again in the 2013/14 season , the club made it to the top 64 teams in France. On both occasions, however, he did not get beyond this first nationwide main round, losing to first division AJ Auxerre after extra time and two years later to second division SCO Angers on penalties as a fifth division team at the time . In 2015/16 , the FCC surprisingly defeated Stade Reims clearly, before another Ligue 1 representative, Olympique Lyon, proved to be too strong in the round of 16 . In return , the third division partner even made it into the semi-finals in the 2017/18 season .

Known players

With Mickaël Citony and Fabien Raddas (both born in 1980), two ex-professionals played in the Black and Blue in 2013/14. In 2014/15 the African and Olympic champion Pierre Womé wore the FC Chambly dress.
