Le Havre AC

The French football club plays under the nicknames Le club doyen or Les Ciel et Marine (The Sky and the Dark Blue). Their club colours thus include light blue as the colour of the sky and dark blue as the colour of the sea. These colours appear both in the crest and on the home jerseys. They play their home games at the Stade Océane, which has a capacity of 25,181 seats. The club was founded in 1872 in Le Havre, Normandy. Interestingly, the whole was founded by English founders and their anthem is played to the tune of "God Save the Queen", which refers to the club's English origins.

FC Sochaux-Montbéliard

The club, whose colours include blue and yellow and which has a stylised lion's head in its emblem, was founded in 1928, then still under the name FC Sochaux. Based in the town of Montbéliard near the Swiss border, the home stand at the Stade Auguste Bonal comfortably accommodates twenty thousand spectators. FCSM, as the team's name is sometimes reported in the media, was founded by Jean-Pierre Peugeot, a member of the famous car company's founding family.
