History

During World War II in 1943, new so-called Federal (EF) teams were created at the request of the Vichy France government. These brought together professional players from D1 clubs.[1] ÉF Reims-Champagne made it to the 1944 Coupe de France Final, where they lost 4–0 to EF Nancy-Lorraine.[2] The Federal teams were dismantled after that season, and professional clubs reinstated.

Colours and badge
