Guingamp confirms its fans' championship status

Guingamp has once again been crowned French fans' champion, leaving Paris Saint‑Germain far behind in second place. With a total of 197 points, including 112 awarded for the atmosphere at the Roudourou, the Breton club proves its supporters are the best in the country.

Why does the Kop Rouge matter?

The Kop Rouge, the club's supporters group, does more than chant. Last year, the €45,000 granted by the Ligue de Football Professionnel was distributed to 16 charitable associations. A member reminded that "we want to help people who suffer," emphasizing that the money comes from the LFP, an institution often criticised. This shows Guingamp fans want recognition beyond the negative headlines.

Impact on the club and community

Thanks to this exceptional atmosphere, the Roudourou stadium is regarded as having the best crowd in France. The club largely finances itself, which boosts supporters' pride. This self‑funding enables local projects while keeping a festive vibe at matches.

Where does Guingamp stand today?

Sportively, Guingamp sits 11th in Ligue 2 with 40 points (10 W‑10 D‑14 L) after 34 games, showing a recent form of LLLLD. The team has conceded 49 goals while scoring 42, a –7 goal difference, and sits 27 points behind leaders ESTAC Troyes. The latest result, a 1‑0 loss to Clermont Foot on 9 May 2026, highlights current struggles, but the supporters' energy remains a major asset.

What lies ahead for the next season?

The club relies on the Kop Rouge's continued commitment and support for local charities. If on‑field performances improve, the Roudourou atmosphere will stay a decisive factor in attracting new fans and cementing Guingamp's reputation as France's most welcoming club.
