The club was founded in 1904 and currently plays in [[Ligue 1]], the top tier of [[Football in France|French football]]. Nice plays its home matches at the [[Allianz Riviera]]. Nice was founded under the name ''Gymnaste Club de Nice'' and is one of the [[1932–33 French Division 1|founding members]] of the first division of French football. The club has won Ligue 1 four times, the [[Trophée des Champions]] one time and the [[Coupe de France]] three times. It achieved most of its honours in the 1950s with the club being managed by coaches such as [[Numa Andoire]], Englishman [[Bill Berry (footballer, born 1904)|William Berry]], and [[Jean Luciano]]. The club's last honour was winning the Coupe de France in 1997 after defeating [[En Avant de Guingamp|Guingamp]] 4–3 on penalties in [[1997 Coupe de France final|the final]]. Nice's colours are red and black. During the club's successful run in the 1950s, Nice was among the first French clubs to successfully integrate international players into the fold. Notable players include [[Héctor de Bourgoing]], [[Pancho Gonzales (footballer)|Pancho Gonzales]], [[Victor Nurenberg]], and [[Joaquín Valle]], the latter being the club's all-time leading goalscorer and arguably the greatest player.<ref>{{cite news |title=Joaquin Valle Benitez: 339 buts en 407 matchs avec le Gym |url=http://www.ogcnice.com/histoire/grand_joueur.php?id=3 |publisher=OGC Nice |access-date=10 January 2011 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726203607/http://www.ogcnice.com/histoire/grand_joueur.php?id=3 |archive-date=26 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
