Team Info
Stade Malherbe Caen, commonly known as simply Caen, is a French football club based in the city of Caen, Normandy. The club currently competes in the Championnat National, the third tier of French football, and plays its home matches at the Stade Michel d'Ornano. Founded in 1913, the team's colors are red and blue. The club's name honors François de Malherbe, a poet from Caen, reflecting its deep local roots. Caen's history is one of resilience, featuring several promotions to and relegations from Ligue 1. Their peak era arrived in the early 1990s when, under coach Robert Nouzaret, they finished a remarkable fifth in Ligue 1 in 1992 and qualified for the UEFA Cup, led by stars like Stéphane Paille and Xavier Gravelaine. The modern era has seen Caen become a classic yo-yo club between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, with a strong academy producing talents like N'Golo Kanté. Recently relegated to the third tier, the club is in a period of rebuilding, aiming for a swift return to the professional leagues. The fan base, known for their passionate and vocal support at the d'Ornano, remains fiercely loyal. Caen is a historic club with a proud identity, determined to climb back to the heights of French football.
