Nickname: Les Aiglons (The Eagles) Le Gym (The Gym)

Make The Case

Here is the argument for Nice: France, France Ligue 1, and a ground called Allianz Riviera. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

You get a nickname
Known as Les Aiglons (The Eagles) Le Gym (The Gym). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is about 3km from the ground, and Nice-Saint-Augustin is 2km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Following France Ligue 1 means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. France becomes part of your week.
Old enough to matter
1904 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
