The club has long marketed itself as a regional club rather than a town-based outfit, and has become noted for its strong support across its region, despite the fact that a second top-level team is located in nearby Lille. The club's ground, Stade Félix Bollaert , seats 41,233—in a city of about 37,000 inhabitants (although Lens is at the center of a considerably more populous area).
Lens has been competitive in the top level of French football in recent years, winning the league in the 1997- 98 season, and finishing second in 2001- 02.
