Following in the footsteps of Kylian Mbappé, the players of the Bondy Cécifoot Club (Seine-Saint-Denis), including several internationals, trained for the first time on their new pitch, the first in Île-de-France “to Paralympic standards ".
“This field is the culmination of a project launched five years ago,” says Jean-François Chevalier, president of the club.
Before, they trained in a city stadium which was not up to standard.”
The structure, officially inaugurated this Wednesday, cost around 1.3 million euros invested by the departmental council, the City and the National Sports Agency (ANS).

Thanks to this infrastructure, the Bondy Cécifoot Club, with its twenty disabled members, wishes to develop new projects.

We want to continue to develop the place of disability in society.
