Last Sunday, Illiers-l’Eveque took on club CO Cléon (R2) at a real rural football party.

“It will be an opportunity to see many fans on the sidelines of the field”, tastes, before a few days before this duel, the young local president, Vianney Lenud.

A record number of licensees

Not bad for a municipality with less than 1,000 inhabitants. And above all for a club of considerable dynamism, which has grown well since its creation in 1979.

Illiers now has more than 200 licensees, after its merger with the municipalities of Croth-Marcilly, Garennes and Saint-André de l’Eure which gave rise to the acronym ACMIE (for Andrésienne Croth Marcilly Illiers l’Évêque).

“It’s a wonderful record. Since its creation in 1979, the Football Club of Illiers l’Évêque had never had so many players within its association. The club continues to grow. ”

Vianney Lenud is therefore a satisfied president, just like his vice president Massimo Vacherand quality coaches like Girolamo Legros, Jeremy and Guillaume Tetardthe main coach, all well known in the world of European football and Eure-et-Loir.

Because Illiers l’Évêque, for those unfamiliar with the country, is as close to Dreux (28) as it is to Saint-André or Ézy-sur-Eure. But the club claims its attachment to the department and has even been part of the Évreux agglomeration since 2018.

We also have a women’s team, a veteran, two senior teams (R3 and a P3), a great U18 team engaged in Regional 3 and two referees attached to the club. “

After last season’s podium for the FCIE pennant team, then a Eure cup and a promotion to R3 for the U18 ACMIE, Illiers l’Évêque is now looking forward to only one thing: experiencing new strong emotions.
