There were the severe disappointments of 2018 and 2020… But this time, nothing comes to thwart the rise of the Blois club in the elite of the best basketball teams in France! Thus, next season, the Jeu-de-Paume floor will receive Limoges, Villeurbanne, Le Mans, Pau-Lacq-Orthez, Monaco… And in the regular season, please! Lovers of the orange ball – there are many of them in Loir-et-Cher – are already salivating! But before that, it is with their fans that the players and their managers came to celebrate the rise in Betclic Elite. A big party around their room this Sunday afternoon, almost a communion with their supporters swimming in happiness.

The reactions
Marc Gricourt (mayor of Blois): “I address, with the greatest pride, my warmest congratulations to the architects of the victory, in the foreground, the players, their coaches, Paul Seignolle, the emblematic president, the manager Julien Monclar, the employees, the volunteers and the many supporters of the club. This promotion to Pro A will necessarily involve strengthening the support of the club. I have already proposed to all public decision-makers to meet with the club at the end of June. This visibility national will bring to the territory an additional attraction around the beautiful values of sport. A total territorial pride: for the city, our department and our region. Beautiful celebration of victory to the team and the supporters!”
Philippe Gouet (president of the departmental council of Loir-et-Cher) : “For the first time in the history of our department, a collective sport will evolve at the highest national level. Congratulations to the players, staff and President Seignolle who have spared no effort to achieve this magnificent result! “
Tania André (vice-president in charge of community life, culture and sports at CD 41) : “At the end of a balanced match that kept us on our toes until the end, thank you to ADA Blois Basket, whose teamwork greatly deserves this historic victory, for sharing its success with the whole department!”
