Angers SCO goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni was selected by Sylvain Ripoll for the Tokyo Olympics. The list, in which appears in particular the Rennais Eduardo Camavinga but also André-Pierre Gignac or the ex-Marseillais Florian Thauvin, was unveiled this Friday, June 25. France will challenge Mexico on July 22 (10 a.m.), South Africa on July 25 (10 a.m.) and Japan on July 28 (1:30 p.m.). The final is scheduled for August 7. Paul Bernardoni will therefore miss the summer preparation of Sco and perhaps the first day of Ligue 1. However, he should be present at La Baumette for the resumption on Monday June 28..
For the starting place, the Angevin goalkeeper will compete with Gautier Larsonneur (Brest). International since the U17 selections, Paul Benardoni started with the France Espoirs team during the conquest of Euro 2016.
