Yesterday, the FCF Juvisy - finally - confirmed the rumor that had been flying for a few months and that we followed closely, until the revelation before the cameras of the President of Paris FC, Pierre Ferracci at the microphone of the FFF! Details.

On the road to professionalisation

This is news that would have a scope at the height of what we could have with the arrival of Alex Morgan. An opportunity for both clubs to strengthen one another and to aim higher together. The Paris FC club that is currently playing in National and Juvisy had reflected on this possibility since the beginning of the season, which was to intervene in this year 2017. If the club of the capital wishes to boost its women's section, which evolves until now that in DHR, Marie-Christine Terroni's club could eventually hope for a professional status and benefit from UEFA support planned to support women's training centers. A project under the patronage of the FFF, which sees a good eye, the union of the two clubs to professionalize the discipline among women Juvisy. A rapprochement for the Paris FC who wishes by this initiative, take a new dimension and ride the wave around women's football before the 2019 World Cup.

Do not fall behind other clubs led by pro names

With the rise of Bordeaux, Metz or Marseille, it became more than fundamental for the club Essonne to seize this opportunity, not to take more late or penalize themselves in relation to these teams, attached to Ligue 1 clubs. Indeed, eight out of twelve clubs are now from a men's club. There are now some problems to be solved such as the address of the training center, the stadium that would host the matches of women and the terms that follow. But more importantly, what will be the name of this new team? Will Juvisy have to concede his name, for the benefit of the pro club? As AS Algrange (Metz) had to do, or Templemars (LOSC), ES Blanquefort (Girondins de Bordeaux), or before Stade Briochin (EA Guingamp), FC Lyon (OL) ... The details should certainly be revealed shortly. Let's hope for it at least. The suspense is over.
