Amiens

Amiens Sporting Club commonly referred to as Amiens SC or simply Amiens is a French association football club based in the northern city of Amiens in the Hauts-de-France region.

The club was formed in 1901 and play in Ligue 2, the second division of French football.

The club plays its home matches at the Stade de la Licorne with a capacity of 12,097 located within the city.

The 2017–18 Ligue 1 season was the first in the club's 116-year history, where they finished in 13th place to secure a position in Ligue 1 for the following year. Amiens has never won a major trophy.

In the 2018/2019 season, Amiens finished in 15th place on the table and secured their survival after a 2-1 victory over already-relegated EA Guingamp.

Despite this, during the 2019-2020 season with just 10 games to play, the side sat in 19th position having slipped down the table after a modest start, sitting just 4 points behind 18th placed Nîmes. The LFP suspended Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 indefinitely as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, and on 30 April 2020, the league title was awarded to Paris Saint-Germain and thus the bottom two placed teams, Amiens and Toulouse were automatically relegated to Ligue 2 for the 2020–21 season.
