About

Clermont Foot 63, based in Clermont-Ferrand, competes in Ligue 2 and has become a focus for collectors of signed football shirts, with Walkouts offering curated pieces tied to the club’s recent milestones. The current identity sits alongside a longer local history and a growing set of fanshop releases that attract both local and international buyers.

The modern organisation traces its registered founding to 1984, and the club’s timeline includes an early incarnation from 1911 and the merger that established the present structure. The side rose steadily through the French pyramid, and in 2014 Clermont made headlines by appointing Helena Costa as manager, a notable moment in the club’s story.

Home matches are staged at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, a compact venue in the city that often produces match photographs and framed display shots prized by collectors. The stadium provenance is commonly cited on COAs and sale notes, helping buyers verify that a signed retail shirt originates from an official fanshop or club event.

Collector interest often centres on anniversary and milestone releases. Releases tied to the post-merger era, notably commemorative items marked to the club’s reformation in 1990, are sought for their direct link to the club’s modern identity and limited production runs that followed structural changes.

Seasonal magnets include shirts connected to the campaign that led to top-flight football and subsequent seasons that defined the club’s trajectory. Shirts from the promotion era and the debut Ligue 1 campaign are chased because they represent firsts in the club’s history and appear in match galleries and season reviews, making them culturally and visually recognisable.

A commonly traded variant is the away retail shirt, often offered in a contrasting palette; collectors point to the club’s lighter away runs, frequently a white with red trim colourway, which are linked in collector stories to decisive away performances that helped secure promotion and prestige. Fanshop issues, early retail runs, and player-issue variants remain collectible, and demand includes framed retail shirts as well as player-signed fanshop editions rather than only match-worn items.

Provenance matters, and many listings note authentication and supply context; top offerings will display a COA and reference the 2020-21 promotion campaign alongside later fixtures as part of the item story. Whether sourcing shirts from the promotion season or the club’s return campaigns, Walkouts provides clear images and provenance notes so buyers can judge the piece, and Free worldwide shipping is available on selected items.

Honours

Clermont Foot 63’s honours story is defined by steady progress and landmark moments rather than a haul of major trophies. The modern pinnacle came with promotion to Ligue 1, achieved in 2021, a watershed that capped years of consolidation and growth. Supporters also recognise the club’s resilience in navigating the demands of French professional football, with current participation in Ligue 2 underscoring an ongoing commitment to compete nationally. The club’s lineage stretches back to an early incarnation in 1911 and a later merger that shaped today’s entity, providing historical depth to its achievements. While a roll-call of top-flight titles or European medals is not the club’s calling card, Clermont’s ascent to the elite and its continued challenge in the national league system stand as achievements in their own right. Fans celebrate these milestones as proof of a club that has built carefully, reached the top tier, and continues to strive for sustainable success.
