Caen

SM Caen are one of French football's most resilient clubs, a proud Norman institution that has spent decades bouncing between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 while maintaining a loyal fanbase in the heart of Normandy. Founded in 1913, Caen achieved their greatest moment in 1990 when they lifted the Coupe de France, defeating Montpellier in the final to claim the club's only major honour. Dressed in their distinctive red and blue, the club plays at the Stade d'Ornano in one of France's most historically significant cities. Founded in 1913, SM Caen play at the Stade Michel d'Ornano (capacity around 21,000) in Caen, Calvados, Normandy, France. They currently compete in Ligue 2. Key honours include the Coupe de France in 1990. Nicknamed the Malherbistes (after the Caen-born poet Louis de Malherbe), they wear red and blue. Caen's red and blue kits are a familiar sight in French football, worn across decades of top-flight and second-tier competition. The Coupe de France-winning shirts from 1990 are the most iconic in the club's history, representing the moment Caen reached the pinnacle of French cup football. The various Ligue 1 era kits from the club's multiple top-flight spells are also cherished by Malherbistes supporters as the colours of a club that has always punched above its weight in terms of Norman pride and identity.
