FC Villefranche-Beaujolais , and all the other amateur clubs, fight daily to bring our territories to life and to present coherent budgets in order to offer a stable environment to all this youth who are the cement of our nation, reigning world champions and this therefore deserves a minimum of consideration.”
“However, the club has always had faith in the impartiality of our footballing authorities and remains convinced that the COMEX, a fervent defender of amateur football, will ensure that, in the world of football, the rules are the same for all. , can we read.
