The skylight tournament, which consists of bringing a soccer ball into a window, goes from virtual to real. After a buzz on social networks, the young people of Évry (Essonne) organized a national tournament with their mobile skylight.

A wall, a door, and above all, a square window. The amateur footballers have set themselves a challenge: they must, in three tries, get a ball into the narrow window. This wall is the replica of that of a garbage room in the city of the pyramids of Évry (Essonne). It all starts with the video of a man, who puts the ball in the first shot in the window.

Seen 2 million times on social networks, the video of a banal challenge between young people in a neighborhood quickly goes viral. Malamine Sissoko, co-founder of the official window, tells how politicians, young people and sportsmen have succeeded in trying their luck. Faced with success, the young people of Évry had the idea of ​​exporting their wall. They are embarking on a national tour. Accompanied by their mobile skylight, they will stop in 30 towns in France. A final will be held on July 2, 2022, in Évry.
