History
Blagnac Football Club was founded relatively late in 1962 after a Frenchman by the name of Louis Héraud discovered that the town of Blagnac had no football club. Héraud, along with his supporters, proceeded to go door-to-door collecting up to 20 euros from local Blagnac townspeople in order to begin the process of creating the club. However, it wasn't until a man commonly called Mr. Béranger, a manager of a restaurant in the local airport agreed to fund the club. The club was officially formed on 4 March 1962 as Football Club Blagnacais. Béranger was given the role of president, while Héraud was given dual-roles as vice president and secretary general. The club's first manager was André Augé. In the club's early years of existence, they primarily played with players from the local and regional level of French football, as well as players well past their prime that came from Toulouse FC.
Blagnac is known for its passionate fan base and strong community support. The team plays their home matches at the Stade Georges-Vives, a modest stadium with a capacity of around 2,000 spectators.
The club has a rich history of developing young talent and has produced several players who have gone on to play at higher levels of French football. Blagnac is known for their attacking style of play and commitment to developing players both on and off the field.
Overall, Blagnac is a respected and competitive team in French football, with a strong focus on youth development and community engagement.
