The US Argy football club was about to die in Argy. About fifteen migrants saved the structure.

“We had an empty structure, which was emptying and they were looking for a club”confides Jean-Marie Biaunier, president of the US Argy, of the town of Argy (Indre), evoking the “fifteen or sixteen who came to save the club”. “They arrived on July 2, we spoke in our little club house. They were takers and we were takers. Eight days later, we were having a banquet”adds Jean-Marie Biaunier. “Frankly, he’s a president who is nice. At the beginning, we didn’t all speak French, to play football, it was a little complicated, but we know the ball so it was easier to communicate with the ball”says a player.

“We are still trying to expand a little bit”

“It’s players, it’s a football team, but it’s also a family. We’re still trying to grow a little bit”says Michel Manique, coach. “I think two years ago, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the club. Fortunately they are there because otherwise, there was no more US Argy club”entrusts Nenette.
