He is the 3rd candidate in the Paris League elections after Jamel Sandjak, outgoing president, and Thierry Mercier, president of the District of Val-de-Marne.
Eric Aderdor, 48, is seeking, in fact, the presidency of the regional body whose vote is scheduled for December 19.
This entrepreneur in the press had been president of FC Mantois (National 3) for a year and a half before resigning (while remaining on the management committee) on October 19 in order to embark on the regional campaign.
He is supported by Michel Moulin, former sports advisor of PSG (April-May 2008), who is testing the waters with a view to a possible candidacy for election to the presidency of the FFF on March 13.
“Michel helps me, I've known him for twenty years, I worked in the group competing with his,” says Eric Aderdor.
He is an enthusiast who has spent 40 M € over the last 20 years in the form of sponsorship.
He has worked a lot for football and we tend to forget him.

Originally from the Val-Fourré district in Mantes-la-Jolie, Eric Aderdor played in FC Mantois (born from the merger in 1994 of CA Mantes-la-Ville and AS Mantes) during his youth before moving to come back in December 2018 as a member of the board, then to become president in June 2019. “Thanks to my network, I was able to bring back several sponsors but I also appreciated the difficulties encountered by amateur clubs.
It made me want to get involved.

In full confinement, Eric Aderdor is making more calls to clubs to convince them to join his project: "The clubs live in very complicated situations and even more with the Covid-19, so if I am elected, I want to trigger a fund. emergency € 3 million.
The League is rich because it has 8.5 M € in the coffers.
The question of the seat at Place de Valois also arises.
Rather than owning in the center of Paris, shouldn't we rather move to the outskirts because it will be more accessible to get there and we will free up a financial windfall for something else?
I would also like to set up a common purchasing center to have attractive prices on equipment.
"
The former president of FC Mantois also mentions the regional technical center in Morfondé, inaugurated in 2017. “The investment in Morfondé was very expensive, 5 M €, and it is not too useful, considers- he.
I propose to hold a referendum on its future.
Do we keep it or sell it?
What do we plan to do there to reduce operating costs?

Faced with two opponents who have been present in departmental and regional bodies for several years, does Aderdor think he creates a surprise?
“Of course, I'm out of step with the other two candidates.
Jamel Sandjak has had 2 terms of 4 years and Thierry Mercier has been at the head of the district of Val-de-Marne for a very long time (16 years).
Myself, if I am elected, I will limit the number of mandates to two at most.
Our League needs something new and I think I can embody it.
