League affiliation

From the 1930s the "crocodiles" (as the club was nicknamed) until 2004 always belonged to the field of professional football; their greatest period was in the 1950s and 1960s. However, the club was denied a national title: Nîmes finished eight times in the major national competitions in second place. First class ( Division 1 , renamed Ligue 1 since 2002 ) the club played 1932–1935, 1939–1943, 1944/45, 1950– 1967, 1968-1981, 1983/84 and 1991-1993. In 2011 Olympique rose from the second back to the third division . Only a year later the direct ascent succeeded. In 2018 , the club managed to return to Ligue 1 after 25 years as runner-up behind Stade de Reims .
