C.F. Saint-Richard is a professional football club playing in the Kelssek Championship. Based in the capital of the Cote-du-Sel region of Beaulac, it is well known for its youth academy and emphasis on bringing through local talent, although many of them go on to play at richer and bigger clubs. The club's most important achievement was winning the 9th Patriotes Cup, a run that culminated in an upset final victory against CF Outineau.
Their main rival is Langlois Océanic, in a match-up known as the Salt Coast Derby or Derby du sel. This match on the final day of the KFL70 (189-90FE) season saw the club's most painful defeat, a loss at home which relegated Saint-Richard to the Kelssek National second division for the first time in its history. In KFL61 the club finished at fourth in the league, the high point of their history, which qualified them for the Challengers Cup the following season. They were eliminated in the second qualifying round against CF Bondstad.
