A club created in the pub
President Fernando Ferreira promises a wonderful party with some surprises for the participants. The retiree, who was already there in 1974 when the club was established, recalls the club's beginnings: “We made the decision to form a team during a discussion in a bar in Porte de Paris. »
Very quickly, the club faced some administrative difficulties. We were all Portuguese, without French nationality. As a result, we were unable to serve as president of the association…” It was necessary to practice tricks to circumvent the ban: We have put our French women in positions of responsibility. Everyone knew about the deception, but the district and elected officials were cooperative. »
Five decades later, it is clear that the club has become more organised. Today, the team benefits from one large squad, consisting of about twenty players of Portuguese origin, but not only that.
