Nimes Rivalry

The Crocodiles are the club based in southern France. Located neatly between the Mediterranean Sea and Cevennes mountains, Nimes has a regional rivalry with Toulouse. The proximity of two cities fuelled a long-standing rivalry between the two clubs which is universally referred to as the Derby du Languedoc. Also known as the Derby de l’Herault, this rivalry has been reignited with Nimes returning to the top flight of French football. Nimes matches generate plenty of attention from a supporter’s point of view. Their most affectionate and loyal fans are known as the Gladiators. The name refers to the club’s rich history which dates back to the Roman Empire.

Nimes History

The Crocodiles were founded in 1901 under the name of Sporting Club Nimois (SCN). The club was originally intended for young Protestants only but grew into a wider football organisation following World War I. It was in April 1922 that SCN united with another Nimes-based side – F.A. Nimois. Despite their initial success which saw the club win a place in the highest championship of French football at the time – Division d’Honneur – Nimes suffered dire financial problems and abandoned all activities in 1937.

SCN ceased to exist and the club then moved to the district of Lozere-Gard, when a local businessman restructured the club under the name it uses today – Nimes Olympique. Nimes play their home matches at Stade des Costieres in front of 18,480 people. Before the kick-off of every home game, an extract of George Bizet’s opera Carmen is played which is an interesting and unusual detail for a football club.
