A bit of history:
US Le Mans Sports Club were founded in 1889, but it wasn't until 1902 that a football club existed within it. In 1910, Le Mans qualified for the Championnat de la France in 1910 but are heavily overturned by Saint-Servan. Gaining a huge reputation up to World War I, they plunged into obscurity by World War II before joining the league in 1942.
Le Mans UC72 exist thanks to a merge between Union Sportive du Mans and Stade Olympique du Maine on June 12, 1985. It was at this time that their coach, Christian Gourcuff, joined as coach.
Le Mans UC72 is currently a team in full ascent in the french Ligue 1.
