Toulouse

Stadium Municipal de Toulouse is the official name of Toulouse Football Club’s home ground. It has been their home since the club was founded in 1970. It is the seventh largest stadium in France and the largest multi-purpose stadium in the city of Toulouse. Though it is the home of Toulouse FC, it is also used for major rugby games, especially test matches of the French national rugby union side. Toulouse Football Club are often known as the more simplistic Toulouse or even just TFC. Though they are currently playing in the top-tier of French football they have never won it. They have won Ligue 2, the second division, three times, the most recent of which was in 2003. They have also won the Coupe de France once, in 1957. The club’s home kit is violet, which is believed to be a reference to the nickname of the city, la Cité des violettes, or the City of Violets.
