Youth academy reopens

Shut last Saturday due to positive cases of Covid-19 amongst the young Aiglons, the OGC Nice youth academy reopened its doors on Thursday. “We awaited the confirmation of this morning’s test results and they were all negative,” explained Manu Pires. “We were able to reopen the academy, starting with the scholastic department first. Then, this afternoon, the players who aren’t at school any more were able to train in the afternoon. Everyone dealt with this mini break very well. It’s good.

And the different championships? “This weekend’s matches have already been postponed,” continued the academy director. “The N3 will play Ajaccio on the first weekend in October, so it will come up very quickly. For the U19s and the U17s, we have rescheduled the games where we had weekends off before the holidays.
