Clermont Foot 63 (commonly referred to asClermont Foot) is a French professionalfootball club based inClermont-Ferrand, France. It competes inLigue 2. The first incarnation of the club was formed in 1911 and the current club was created in 1990 as a result of a merger.
The club plays its home matches at theStade Gabriel-Montpied located within the city. In 2014, Clermont became the first professional team to appoint a female manager when they appointedHelena Costa.

The club started in 1911 under the name Stade Clermontois. Despite little league success in the early days, they reached the semi-finals of theCoupe de France during the 1945–46 season.[citation needed] Their professional status was repealed after the 1946–47 season due to financial difficulties.[citation needed] The club became professional again in 1966.[citation needed] 1984 saw an expansion, with Stade-Clermontois andAS Montferrand merging to form Clermont-Ferrand Football Club (CFC).[citation needed] The club was placed in the third division.
The club was later renamedClermont Foot Auvergne, having to start again in the Division Honneur. After 13 years, Clermont Foot got promoted multiple times, from the Division Honneur up toLigue 2 in 1993.[citation needed] During these 13 years of success, the club had numerous successes in the Coupe de France. One notable cup run was in 1997, when the Auvergne club eliminated three professional sides,Martigues,Lorient and thenParis Saint-Germain,[citation needed] before succumbing toNice.[citation needed]
The club won theChampionnat National in 2007,[citation needed] being promoted to Ligue 2 again, from which they had been relegated in 2006.[citation needed]
In 2014, Clermont became the first French professional men's team to appoint a female manager when they appointedHelena Costa.[2][3] Less than a month after taking charge, Costa quit her role,[4] and was replaced by another woman,Corinne Diacre,[5] who would go on to train theFrench women's team.[citation needed]
