The story stretches back to a first incarnation in 1911, with the modern Clermont Foot 63 created in 1990 through a merger, and they play at the tidy Stade Gabriel-Montpied. For years the great nearly-men of French football, Clermont finally reached the top flight for the very first time in 2021, becoming Auvergne's first Ligue 1 club and staying three seasons before dropping back down in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2024\/2025 season in Ligue 2 was a battle for survival. Sébastien Bichard began the campaign in the dugout before Laurent Batlles took over during a turbulent run, and Les Lanciers eventually finished 16th of 18, and this striking third shirt was worn through a nervy fight to beat the drop. With just 30 league goals all season, chances were hard to come by, and safety could not be secured through the table alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead it went to the relegation play-off. Clermont travelled to National side Boulogne-sur-Mer and won the first leg 3-1, then lost the return 2-1 at home, doing just enough to survive 4-3 on aggregate and preserve their Ligue 2 status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a lean attacking year, Congolese winger Mons Bassouamina led the scoring with 4 league goals, level with Maïdine Douane, while veterans Famara Diedhiou and Henri Saivet chipped in and goalkeeper Théo Guivarch was kept busy throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @ClermontFoot\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55681499038072,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/ClermontFoot2024_2025ThirdShirt.jpg?v=1790636322","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/clermont-foot-2024-2025-third-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
