“Among these young people there is, perhaps, the future Messi or Mbappé,” confided one of the coaches of the teams invited to the tournament on Sunday 18 December at the leisure factory, in the Ball In d’Or premises, an establishment dedicated to indoor football .
This event, offered for the first time by AS Oriels, thrilled both the young players of the round ball and the coaching staff. “The children wet their shirts, they listened,” explains Abdoulaye Bahcoach, one of the coaches of the team from Charenton, first classified after a final against Montreuil. All teams were awarded a trophy, as was Bilel, a promising player from Charenton. “I don’t know if I will be a footballer later. »
The final played by the teams of Charenton and Montreuil-sur-Seine.
Sense of welcome
Beyond the result, the important thing was to share a moment of sport, of conviviality, underlined Yassin Chaary, president of AS Oriels. “We go regularly to clubs in the Paris region. We wanted to invite them, take turns, and show them our sense of hospitality. “And to salute the commitment of the volunteers for their sense of welcome, “especially the parents who prepared the lunches”.
Charenton, Versailles, the red star of Saint-Ouen,… but also Eurelian clubs from Mainvilliers or Marsauceux: the tournament took on the air of a World Cup. The matches concluded just before the start of the final which Argentina won, in full view of fans of all ages. Some stayed for the event before returning to the Paris region.
