Why Sochaux

Adopting Sochaux means France Ligue 2 results start mattering to you, a club going since 1928. Not a novelty, a habit.

  • Old enough to matter

    1928 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.

  • Loaded cabinet

    18 distinct honours on record, including Winners (2): 1934–35, 1937–38. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.

  • Proper ground

    Stade Auguste Bonal takes roughly 20,005, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.

  • You get a nickname

    Known as Les Lionceaux (The Lions Cubs) Les Jaunes et Bleus (The Yellow and Blues). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
