This Parisian club has recently celebrated 125 years of history.

The club was founded in 1897 by none other than Jules Rimet, a very important personality in the world of football, as he headed FIFA, being its president for more than thirty years between 1921 and 1954. In France, he is considered a football legend because he was the driving force behind the World Cup. Jules Rimet also founded the French club federation.

Red Star Paris or also called Red Star FC or Red Star Saint-Ouen has a different philosophy than most clubs. It is based on community and values. Thus the fans take pride in the football of yesteryear, the retro football when the players fought on the pitch with their skills, knowing that the important thing is the unity of the team together with the fans and without the backing of big economic powers to sign the best players in the world. In this sense we could say that it is the antithesis of PSG.

If we look at their slogans, we can see the raison d'être of this French team; ‘money is not everything’ or ‘we go to the stadium to see real football’, ‘the most important thing is the atmosphere’. A club that embraces the multicultural character of Saint-Ouen, the neighbourhood where it is based.

Although positioned between the French second and third divisions in recent decades, it should not be forgotten that the team has spent 24 seasons in the French top flight, its last season in Ligue 1 being 1974-75.

These 24 seasons in the French top flight have given the club pedigree and in fact the Red Star have had in their ranks some outstanding international players, among them no less than the Brazilian Garrincha, the Swedish top scorer Bror Mellberg, or Fyodor Cherenkov who was named Soviet Footballer of the Year on two occasions. The Argentinian Stabile, or Helenio Herrera, the first coach with global fame in the 40s, 50s and 60s, have also played with his shirt.

We always talk about clubs with the best track records in the world, of triumphs, of victories. Today, however, we like to highlight other clubs that make us consider different ways of triumphing.

Among his achievements he has won:

League 2 in 1934 and 1939

The Coupe de France in 1921, 1922, 1923, 1928, 1942.

Their last great feat was eliminating RC Lens in 2021 by 3-2 in the 2020-21 Coupe de France, although they eventually lost in the last 16 to OL Olympique Lyonnais.


We love their retro 70s vintage shirt. It's very simple but it has that touch of that emblematic era.

The Red Star FC and its way of feeling the sport, championing authentic football. It sends us today a very different light with which the football of the big stars and the football corporations can never compete; the football of always, the football of twinning and illusion.
