Langlois Océanic (referred to in Frankish as Océanic CF) is a football club based in Langlois playing in the Kelssek Football League Championship. Founded 29 years before Kelssek confederation, it claims to be the oldest professional football team in the country (although this is inevitably a matter of some debate). Océanic pioneered a fluid tactical style that was highly influential in the sport's evolution in the country, leading to an emphasis on players with versatility and a range of skills rather than specialization.

Océanic have won the Kelssek league title eight times, the most recent coming in 186 FE when they also became the second club to complete a league and cup double. Their best performance in international competition came when they reached the IFCF Champions League semifinals, although many would rather forget the pasting they suffered in a 7-1 aggregate loss to Cazadores Cathair.

The club's home matches are played at Stade des Pacifiques, one of the most scenic stadiums in Kelssek nestled in the hills to the northwest of Langlois city centre. Its crest references the city's three ancient harbour fortifications, Tour Maudit (the Cursed Tower), Tour du Roi (the King's Tower), and Tour des Moustiques (Tower of Mosquitoes). Océanic's main rivalry is the Salt Coast derby (Derby du sel) against CF Saint-Richard, which is seen as a contest between the rich and cosmopolitan Langloisiens against the humble, industrious Saint-Richardins.

Fan culture

The fans' trademark chant is Océanic, Océanic, allez allez allez. Another song regularly sung for their star player and later captain to the tune of "Magic in the Air" goes: See the satyr in the air/Allez allez allez/Kiera Weiram marque encore/Allez allez allez. Its most popular fan media outlets are YourTube channels Coach-marde and Aux larmes salés.
