This is already a deeply engraved axiom even in the name of the Sports and Cultural Association of Portuguese of Parthenai and Gatiney (ASCPPG) for the 54 licensees: the borders have nothing to do with this well-established and well-known football club in Parthenai.
Since the beginning of the school year, we have gone beyond differences in this family club. The Portuguese from Parthenes, as they are called here, have just launched a section dedicated to football.
This third of its kind in Deux-Sèvres, after the first FC Chauray created in 2021 and the second of Entente sportif de Saint-Cerbouillé, born in Cersay in Thouarsais in 2023, fits well with Parthenay's complexion, including the city. Ever been there one.
“It's also very strong in terms of image.”
“This happened naturally because there are three of us at the club who work in the medical and social fields.” One of the pillars of the management of this club, which is headed by José Vieira de Pinho, who is her father, explains Tiffany Vieira de Pinho, a pedagogical teacher at Le Partage House in Chatillon-sur-Thout. When we tell you that it is a family club, Isabelle, Tiffany's mother, is only the secretary of the association.
From the month of September until the fourth session, which was held last Tuesday, October 22, 2024, there were fourteen new licensees with mild mental deficiency or psychological disorders, to train in a mixed manner every week, on Tuesday evening. Matches are expected to be held every two months.
These new footballers range in age from 21 for Maxime to 58 for Guy, and most of them come from the living center in Talud, the Habitat and Social Life (HVS) based on Adapei 79. The sports coach at this structure, Severin Chatelet, has so far provided training Internally, football activity is well placed to defend the virtues of this practice while more and more of these centers push in favor of rapprochement with clubs. “It's my passion” Smiles which provides the bridge between the Sports Association and the HVS of Talud, as well as transportation for those who do not have a license or who do not come by carpool.
“It is important for us to show that we are not closed and that football is for everyone. It is also very strong in terms of images to get support. Tiffany Vieira de Pinho adds with beautiful honesty.
In the club, in addition to Tiffany Vieira de Pinho, her mother Isabelle Yasmin works as a cook in the Partage family home in Chatillon. As for Lucas Morissette, the club's midfielder, he is mastering his training as an educational and social support (AES) worker at HVS Home in Talud. It was he who played the role of mediator, the bridge that made it possible to lay the foundations of this new department in June 2024. And which benefits from the support of Julien Sauvetre, player of the club's reserve team.
City ordered two goals
“I am happy with this initiative. Partenay is an inclusive city, and for us, these club initiatives are very important, so since we can support them despite the saturation of places in the stadiums or in the gyms, they are essential. Veronique Reis, Deputy Mayor of Parthenai in charge of sports, rejoices. In fact, Parthenay City has already planned to equip the section with two removable football goals for €5,886 (including taxes) in investments. Even the purchase order has already left.
