“FC Nantes U19s Secure Quarter-Finals Spot in National Championship Playoffs”

This is the highlight of the weekend for the young people of Nantes. For the fourth consecutive year, the U19s of Maxime Baty, who took over from Pierre Aristouy, have reached the final phase of their national championship. Second in Group C behind SCO Angers, the young Canaries are preparing to defend the trophy gleaned last year at the expense of AS Monaco.

A decisive victory at Le Mans

Already positioned on the second step of the podium before its last match, Sunday, the FCN had to win so that its fate did not depend on the duel between Angers and Avranches. A mission that the Yellow and Green have carried out, thanks to a single goal signed Exaucé Mafoumbi. The young striker (2005) ends the regular season with 15 goals, as indicated by the Formation Nantaise Twitter account.

Throughout the game, FC Nantes mastered its subject despite some well-felt opportunities to the advantage of Manceaux. On arrival, this success on the smallest of margins sends Nantes to the quarter-finals of the playoffs. “We focused on our game, without trying to find out the other results”the FCN coach told West France.

Nantes will face Montpellier

Heading now for the first match of the final phase. The young Canaries will travel to Montpellier this Sunday, May 21. In the event of victory in the quarter-finals, they would then face, in Orléans, the winner of the duel between RC Lens and ESTAC Troyes. The final will take place on Saturday June 4 near Aurillac. An opportunity for the people of Nantes to win their third national trophy in this category.
