History

Before the Second World War, the city of Lille had two clubs in Ligue 1; Olympique Lillois and Wearing Club Fivois. Debilitated by the war, the two clubs chose to blend within the autumn of 1944, giving birth to Lille Olympique Sporting Club. Inside its first decade of presence, the unused club won two league titles and come to the moment put for four successive seasons. Within the Coupe de France, the club amassed five wins in seven finals, counting five progressive finals. The final of the Latin Cup was moreover reached.

Lille was consigned for the first time in 1956. The club got to be a mid-table side and within the late 1960s, after a long period of namelessness, and weighed down by a need for offices and assets, Lille deserted its professional status. It was dreaded that the club might vanish. In any case, a few youthful pioneers, such as Max Pommerolle, came and gave a modern impulse to the club. All things considered, the results remained sporadic and the only titles that touched off the fans’ interests were won within the Second Division.
