History


The ancestor of the current OGC Nice, the Gymnastic Club Nice (GCN) was born in La Pergola Avenue Carlone in the district of Baumettes on 9 July 1904. The club's aim was at promoting and excelling in gymnastics and athletic exercises. The Gym, gymnastics club, was founded by the Marquis of Massengy Auzac, President of the Federation Sportive des Alpes-Maritimes and became honorary president of the Gymnastic club. H. Gal and A. Martin also helped establish the club with latter being elected president. The original colors of the Gymnastics Club were blue and black.

On 6 July 1908 The Gymnast Club was divided into two sections with one retaining the name and remaining affiliated with the FSAM. While the other section became the Amateur Athletic Club de Nice (GACN) who became affiliated with the USFSA. The national organization's most important, and most succseful section of football was finally established. On 6 October 1910 the Amateur Athletic Club once again changed names to the Nice Gymnast Club of Nice, with the club affiliating itself to the USFSA.

On 20 September 1919 The Gymnast Club Nice absorbs Gallia Athletic Football Club and adopted the colors red and black.

On 22 December 1924 club officials met at a general meeting. The officials renamed the club from Nice Gymnast to Olympique gymnast club Nice. The word Olympique was used because the Olympic Games
