Racing Club de Lens was founded in 1906 in a coal-mining town of the Pas-de-Calais and is nicknamed Les Sang et Or after its blood-red and gold colours. It won its only French championship in 1997-98 and has finished runner-up five times, and it took the Coupe de France for the first time in 2026. Lens plays at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis and contests the Derby du Nord with Lille.
