Under the impulsion of  Frederic Piquionne , former Ligue 1 player,  4PADEL  co-organized the  4PADEL FOOTBALL CUP , an event bringing together former professional footballers who came to defend the colours of their city… but this time, racket in hand!

 A dynamic format and prestigious duels 

The competition took place in the form of  two hens of four pairs , with matches in  a set of 6 games . A fast and intense formula which gave rise to great oppositions on the courts.

 The pairs represented 

  •  Rennes  :  Cheyrou / Piquionne 
  •  Saint-Etienne  :  Citizeny / Brison 
  •  Paris  :  Robert / Menez 
  •  Lens  :  Sertic / Dacourt 
  •  Rennes  :  Wiltord / Briand 
  •  Paris  :  Shower / Chantôme 
  •  Metz  :  Dossevi / Pirès 
  •  Le Havre  :  The Tallec / Sinama Pongolle 

 Douchez and Chantôme, first kings of the 4PADEL FOOTBALL CUP! 

At the end of a tough tournament, it was the pair  Nicolas Douchez / Clement Chantôme  who won the final against  Olivier Dacourt / Gregory Sertic A victory which confirms that some former footballers have lost none of their sense of the game and their coordination!

 An explosive “Bombazo Challenge” 

The event was also marked by the  Bombazo Challenge , a smash competition where  Gregory Sertic  shone by sending a ball to  more than 13,8 meters  ! An achievement that shows that the drive is still there.
