The atmosphere promises to be beautiful and the show guaranteed. The French futsal team is in Laval to face Croatia this Saturday, September 17 in a warm-up match. The match will be sold out at Espace Mayenne. 3300 people are expected for this premiere.
It’s great to play at home
Among the players selected for the France team, three play for Etoile Lavalloise, the D1 club. leader Souheil Mouhoudine, pivot Abdessamad Mohammed and goalkeeper Louis Marquet. The 29-year-old has two caps (and a goal!) in the French futsal team. Even if he is not the number 1 goalkeeper of the French team, the Mayennais will inevitably have a particular emotion tonight: “yes, to play in front of his family and his public, it’s special. But when you’re concentrated in the game, you don’t see all that but it’s great to play at home. It’s going to be funny since I’m going to start my season at Espace Mayenne, not with my club L’Étoile but with the France team jersey. It’s a first and it’s nice. We are ready. I’m going to play in front of the Laval public, which I know very well, and with the France team, we need this Laval public to push. It is important to perform. It’s a spectator sport and I’m sure the public will be behind us. It’s going to be a very good game.“
This season, Louis Marquet has signed an amateur contract allowing him to devote himself 100% to futsal. A great success for the Mayenne, a tiler by profession until then.
The France / Croatia futsal match begins at 7 p.m. at Espace Mayenne in Laval. All seats have been sold.
