Young training has been a leitmotif for many years on the side of VBP Niort. Didn’t the club win the final of the French M15 Cup in 2018, with Anatole Chaboissant in its ranks? This trophy may well call for another this season. Two teams from the club chaired by Valérie Gibouin will in any case be in the running in the final at the beginning of May 2025.
Twelve survivors on 198 clubs at the start
Thus, the M13 girls are among the twelve teams survived on the 198 clubs engaged at the start of the season. During the eighth round, the young players supervised by Keivn Argourd and Amsetou Mingorance went to seek their qualification on the side of Vitrolles, winning against the MVB Lyssois (2-0) then facing the Provencal team (2-1). Under the gaze and encouragement of parents who also took the game over the Tours, the adventure of Naïs and Shanna Fossi and their teammates will thus continue on the side of Saint-Jean-de-Braye (Loiret), from May 4 to 6. In the group stage, they will face Vitrolles and Aix-en-Provence. With, why not, title dreams in a corner of the head.
M18 boys can also think about it. On the trip Sunday April 20 in Saint-Malo, the players coached by Jocelyn Barret qualified for the final of the Challenge de France. Winners of the Breton team (2-0) and Issy-les-Moulineaux (2-0), they have an appointment from May 9 to 11 in Chartres.
