Red Star Football Club is a historic French professional football club based in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, in the northern suburbs of Paris. Founded in 1897 by Jules Rimet, who later became president of FIFA, the club is one of France's oldest football institutions. Red Star plays its home matches at Stade Bauer and is recognised for its distinctive green-and-white identity and deep connection with the local community. The club has won the Coupe de France five times and has spent numerous seasons in France's top divisions. In recent years, Red Star has experienced a revival, returning to Ligue 2 and strengthening its sporting and organisational structure. The club operates an academy focused on youth development and maintains strong links with the Seine-Saint-Denis community through social, educational, cultural, and sporting initiatives. Its Red Star LAB programme uses football, arts, education, and cultural activities to support young people and encourage personal development. Red Star also places strong emphasis on inclusion, accessibility, supporter culture, and community engagement, reflecting the club's longstanding identity as a socially rooted football institution. The organisation combines professional football operations with extensive community programmes, commercial partnerships, youth development, and fan engagement. Its historic Stade Bauer remains central to the club's identity and relationship with supporters. Red Star's long-term ambitions focus on sporting competitiveness, sustainable development, youth development, and maintaining its distinctive cultural identity while continuing to represent Saint-Ouen and the wider Paris region at professional level.
