All the players returned to the lawn wearing a green and white jersey with the writing in large letters: “Loïc”. The footballers of the Coulounieix-Chamiers club wanted to pay tribute to the 22-year-old young man, found dead this Friday in Chancelade. Loïc played football for ten years, notably with the Marsac-Chancelade agreement. He also took a license at Coulounieix-Chamiers in 2019. Facing the grandstand, just before the kick-off of the match against Brantôme this Saturday evening, all the players applauded, in heart, for a minute. “It was important to mark the occasion, says Benjamin Orteil, club player and educator. Loïc was a good childhood friend, we played football together for many years, paying tribute to him in a club where he played is important to me. It’s very symbolic for all of us and hopefully for the family.”
