FC Annecy represents one of the most picturesque cities in the French Alps and traces its history back to 1927. The red-and-white side spent much of its existence competing outside the professional spotlight before making an impressive rise in recent years. Annecy gained national attention after reaching Ligue 2 and producing a memorable run to the Coupe de France semi-finals in 2023. The club plays its home matches at Parc des Sports d'Annecy, surrounded by the distinctive Alpine scenery of the city.
