Angers Sporting Club de l'Ouest

Founded in 1919, Angers SCO will this year compete in their 27th total season in the French top-flight, and their fourth consecutive campaign since regaining promotion in 2015. The club has two Ligue 2 titles to its name, achieved in 1969 and 1976, and has twice appeared in the final of the Coupe de France, against Toulouse in 1957, and more recently in 2017, versus a Paris Saint-Germain side featuring Edinson Cavani and Ángel Di María.

Angers’ local rivals are Nantes; the pair are currently the only teams in the Ligue 1 Conforama located in the Pays de la Loire region. Promoted to the second division together in 1945, they vied for regional dominance for the good part of a decade, prior to Les Canaris moving up to the top tier of French football.

Season 2017-18 saw Stéphane Moulin’s charges make an encouraging start and eventually finish in a creditable 14^th place.

Previous encounters

Paris SG - Angers SCO

Angers have not won any of the two teams’ nine last matches, drawing one and losing eight of them. Paris Saint-Germain’s most emphatic result dates back to 4 November 2017, when they registered a 5-0 success at Stade Raymond-Kopa courtesy of braces from Cavani and Kylian Mbappé.

This season, after being beaten at Parc des Princes 3 - 1 with goals from Cavani, Mbappé and Neymar, on 3rd Ligue 1 Conforama game, les Scoïstes will welcome Thomas Tuchel’s men on the 36^th matchday.

Did you know?

Raymond Kopa is a veritable Angers icon: the 1958 European Footballer of the Year wore the club’s colours with pride from 1949 to 1951. Spotted during the French national youth football trials of 1949, he subsequently signed a contract with Angers, for whom he would go on to score 14 goals. To honour their former star, Angers decided to change the name of their stadium to “Stade Raymond-Kopa” in 2017.

Player to watch

Angelo Fulgini
20/08/1996
Midfielder

Born in Abidjan in 1996, Angelo Fulgini is an up-and-coming and talented midfielder. On the first day of the 2015/2016 campaign, Fulgini found the back of the net after just four minutes, thereby becoming the first goalscorer of the Ligue 2 Dominos season. The promising youngster created another piece of history for himself the following term, notching the second division’s fastest-ever hat-trick versus Orléans on 21 April 2017. Three months later, he put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Angers, and scored his first goal for the club – against Bordeaux – on the opening day of the Ligue 1 Conforama season.
Having played for France at various youth levels, he was recently handed three caps by Sylvain Ripoll, France’s U-21 coach.

Stade Raymond Kopa

Stade Raymond-Kopa was opened in 1912 under its initial name of Stade Bessonneau. Following its renovation in 1957, the stadium was renamed in honour of Jean Bouin, the renowned French athlete who died in action during World War I. On 6 March 2017, a few days after the death of Raymond Kopa in Angers, the town’s mayor proposed bestowing the name of the former star on the arena, a suggestion that was met with unanimous approval. The stadium’s current capacity is 14,277.
