Overview
Lens in brief
Founded in 1906, Lens represent a former coal-mining centre in the Pas-de-Calais department of northern France. The club are known as Les Sang et Or, or the Blood and Gold, after their red and gold colours. Their home is the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, opened in 1933 and long associated with exceptionally vocal crowds drawn from Lens and the surrounding mining communities.
Lens won their first French championship in 1997-98 under Daniel Leclercq, finishing ahead of Metz on goal difference, and added the Coupe de la Ligue the following year. Their European honours include two UEFA Intertoto Cups. After losing three earlier finals, Lens claimed their first Coupe de France in 2026, defeating Nice and adding another major trophy to the club's modern identity.

Club profile maintained by Oddsivio · sourced from official club records.
The La Gaillette academy and training centre continue Lens's tradition of developing players from northern France and beyond. Their fiercest rivalry is with Lille, and the Derby du Nord contrasts Lens's mining heritage with the larger metropolitan identity of its neighbour. Record appearance holder Eric Sikora and forward Maryan Wisnieski remain enduring figures, while the singing of Les Corons expresses the support's connection to regional history.
