In the bars, in the stands… We just talk about them, almost to the point that they locally eclipse their Marseille neighbours. In just one season, Aubagne Football Club (AFC) has managed to attract all eyes. And yet, who would have bet Aubagnais at the start of the championship? Those who had just finished a 2022-2023 season on the brink of relegation by ending the year in a glorious 11th place.
But a few months later, as the end of the 2023-2024 season approaches, the Aubagnais are first in a group that they will have dominated for almost the entire year. And while Mohamed Sadani’s players this evening have a first opportunity to secure promotion to the National (3rd division) – if the runners-up from Le Puy lose or concede a draw on the same evening – this year’s retrospective proves to be out of date. – standard in many ways. “We have good players but I don’t think we have the best squadanalyzes today Emmanuel Hernandez, Secretary General of the AFC. But what makes us strong is that we have a group of friends who are ready to do anything for others: Aubagne FC is a collective history.“.
Ultra motivated
A unity that also owes a lot to the consolidation of a group of ultra-motivated people. Since March 2023, the collective has been ubiquitous at home with between 30 and 50 Aubagnais ready to shout. Even on the move, the 12th player is often present as on Saturday 20 April in Puy-en-Velay, the big poster at the end of the season against the second in the ranking. “Before there were sometimes around ten supporters, today there is a real atmosphere in the stands to support the club“, confides Jean-Claude, leader of the Ultras.
