LIGUE 1 WINNERS 1933-2019
The French national football league was first held in the 1932-33 season, under the name Division Nationale, Olympique Lillois winning the inaugural title. The league was renamed to Division 1 in 1972 and stayed that way until 2002, when it was rebranded as Ligue 1.
Over the decades the Championnat de France has seen a great spread of different clubs dominating different eras: Nice and Reims in the 50s, Saint-Étienne in the 60s, Nantes in the 70s, Bordeaux in the 80s, Marseille in the 90s, Lyon in the 2000s and now PSG in the 2010s (although if you want a proper spread of different clubs then check out the list of Coupe de France winners).
Given PSG’s financial power and clout, this status might not last much longer, but it’s Saint-Étienne who still hold the record for the number of titles, with 10.
