It’s a tradition that is long-standing. For the 16th consecutive year, the children from the Supporters Club were invited to take to the pitches of the training ground on Wednesday alongside their idols.

Returning after a few rest days given to them by the coaching staff after the draw against Toulouse (1-1), Les Aiglons began their day with an intensive training session. This was followed by an exceptional moment of relaxation with their young fans.

In the same way as for the pros, the session began with instructions from the coach, Patrick Vieira.

The staff and players had prepared six different stations. On the menu: ball work, matches, and penalties.

The youngsters from the Supporters Club were living the dream once again on a sunny afternoon.
