FC Chambly continues to arouse interest.
At the end of last week just before the victory in Pau (1-3), the Spanish channel Movistar + broadcast a five-minute report on the epic of the Picards.
A report that traces the incredible journey of a club that started from the lowest level to reach Ligue 2 in 2018.
“It's surprising that a Spanish channel is interested in us, reacts Bruno Luzi, the coach of FC Chambly.
In any case, it's very nice to have been put forward and to retrace the family history of the club.
In this report, the two Luzi brothers return to the major dates of the club, started from nothing.
“We were contacted more than a year ago,” says Fulvio Luzi, President Camblys.

A probably unique case for a 30-year-old club in the biggest European leagues.
“There is our background but also the fact that we are a family club, continues Fulvio Luzi.
It's something completely atypical, especially when you come into business football.
"With the smallest budget in Ligue 2 (Editor's note: approximately € 6.5 million), FC Chambly had managed to maintain its position.
In the current context, the success of the Picards conveys values which do not only appeal to the small world of French football.
"That's what makes us proud," concludes the president of Chambly.
