In pictures – The pros of the DFCO meet the young shoots of Côte-d’Or football

“Dijon, Dijon, Dijon..!!” hundreds of little hands clap on the barriers as the DFCO players arrive on the St Apollinaire training ground. After two and a half years of absence due to the Covid crisis, here is the return of the DFCO Tour. Les Rouges undertake to meet amateur clubs three times a year.

The children of the football clubs of St-Apollinaire, Tille-FC, Val-de-Norge and Sennecey-Crimolois have not finished telling their parents about it and in the schoolyard, the pros are welcomed like rock stars, with a special mention to Fred Samaritano, veteran of the team celebrating his birthday.

We do not yet know when and where the next meeting will be held, but there are probably already many candidates to share a moment in all simplicity with the pros.
