AS Nancy-Lorraine is a French football club, based in Nancy, Capital of Lorraine. The team was founded in 1967 as a successor of the defunct FC Nancy, which collapsed in 1965.
They were promoted to Ligue 1 for the 2005-06 season. Michel Platini played for the club between 1973 and 1979. They play their home games at Stade Marcel Picot. In the 2005-06 season, AS Nancy Lorraine won the Coupe de la Ligue, thus qualifying for the UEFA Cup.
UEFA Cup
The draw for the UEFA cup saw AS Nancy Lorraine handed a tough trip to Germany to face Schalke 04 in the first round. Having lost the first leg 1-0, Nancy pulled off a shock 3-1 victory in the second leg to progress.
In the group stage, Nancy drew Wisła Kraków, Blackburn Rovers, FC Basel 1893, and Feyenoord Rotterdam. In Nancy's first match, they beat Wisła 2-1 at home. Next up were Basel away in Switzerland, where Nancy managed a 2-2 draw. On 30 November 2006 Feyenoord faced AS Nancy Lorraine in France, which is at driving distance from Rotterdam. Only 1200 tickets were awarded to Feyenoord fans.[1] Much more than that amount travelled to Nancy and tried to get tickets at the Stade Marcel Picot.[1] Later, during the match inside the stadium SCF and FIIIR members broke a wall of glass between two stands and provoked French fans.[1] The match was suspended for 30 minutes in the 80th minute after the police used tear gas to drive the SCF/FIIIR members back into their own stand.[1] The match was eventually finished, 30 minutes after it was suspended.[1] It was said many of the SCF/FIIIR members were having Dutch stadium bans and should not have been allowed to buy tickets in Nancy.[2] Members of SCF and FIIIR identify themselves with their tattoos[3] Due to this violence, Feyenoord was knocked out of the UEFA Cup for the remaining of the season.Nancy won with a comfortable 3-0 win that would set up a match that would decide who topped the group in England against Blackburn. Although Nancy dominated most of the match, a late Lucas Neill goal meant that they would have to settle for second place. In the Round of 32, the club drew Ukranian side Shakhtar Donetsk. After a 1-1 draw in Ukraine, their prospect looked good, but they were defeated 1-0 at home in the second leg, losing the lie 2-1 on aggregate.
AS Nancy Lorraine will once again compete in the UEFA cup during the 2008/09 season after they managed a finish of 4th in Ligue 1. They were drawn to play Motherwell from the Scottish Premier League for the first round. The home tie was played on the 18th of September, with AS Nancy winning 1:0. The away game was played on the 2nd of October at Fir Park in Motherwell with Nancy winning 2:0. A 3:0 win on aggregate.
