The Toulouse Football Club - often TFC for short - is a French football club founded in 1970 as Union Sportive Toulouse from the southern French city of Toulouse in the Haute-Garonne department , which refers to the traditions of the club of the same name, which existed from 1937 to 1967.

history

The club was founded in 1970 as Union Sportive Toulouse ; It was not until 1977 that it took on its current name. In 2001 he was insolvent and was forcibly transferred to the third division , from which he returned to the top division two years later.

Today's TFC sees itself as the successor to the traditional local club of the same name, which was founded in 1937 and retired from the professional league in 1967 after all its players and, above all, the right to play in Division 1 were given to Red Star (from Saint-Ouen in the Paris metropolitan area). This predecessor had its prime in the late 1950s, when it was runner-up and won the French Cup.

The club colors are purple and white. The league team plays at the Municipal Stadium with a capacity of 35,500 seats. The club's president has been Olivier Sadran since 2001, and Denis Zanko has been the coach of the first division team since January 2020 . (As of April 2020)

On July 21, 2020, the American investment firm RedBird Capital Partners took over 85% of the shares in FC Toulouse.

League affiliation

In the top division ( Division 1 , called Ligue 1 since 2002 ), the predecessor club TFC played 1939 to 1943, 1944/45, 1946 to 1951 and 1953 to 1967. The re-establishment was 1982–1994, 1997–1999, 2000/01 and again first class since 2003.

The 2006/07 season was the most successful season so far for Toulouse FC, which secured third place and thus the right to play in the third round of the Champions League qualification.

Women's soccer

In 2001, the women's team from Toulouse Olympique Aérospatiale Club , which had become national champions three times in a row from 1999 to 2001, joined the TFC and promptly won the top French league again in 2002 . In the same year , Toulouse also won the first edition of the women's national cup competition . These are the only national adult titles that the new Toulouse FC have won so far. Relegated to the second division for the first time in 2011, the women of Division 1 have only belonged for one season (2012/13) since then.

The club's most successful female soccer players include Gaëlle Blouin , Mélanie Briche , Marie-Ange Kramo , Géraldine Marty , Sandrine Rouquet , Lilas Traïkia , Sabrina Viguier , Élodie Woock and Anne Zenoni .
