The AS Saint-Étienne continues to make its commitment to sports inclusion shine through its footrest section. This season, the section had a new success with Samuel Grau Garcia’s selection with the Spanish national team, after having already seen Jonathan Détrier be chosen for the French team. Member of the ASSE reserve, Grau Garcia, captain of the Spanish team, will participate in the next Nations Cup of Foot-Fauteuil, a great reward for his performances with ASSE. He is proud to represent his country, while recognizing the challenge facing teams like France, while anticipating a personal challenge facing Jonathan Detrier. This success is part of a broader club policy to promote sport for all, a project supported by Laarry Tanenbaum since its arrival.
At the same time, the team of Rodez AF, opponent of ASSE in Ligue 2, will have to face the next match against Saint-Étienne without Wilitty Younusa. Cameroonian defensive medium has undergone pubic surgery and will be absent for several weeks. Younusa, a key player for Rodez, is known for his hard work, his ability to recover and his sense of placement. His absence represents a hard blow for the team, which will have to find alternative solutions in the middle of the field. For the AS Saint-Étienne, this absence could potentially create an imbalance to be exploited, offering them an opportunity to take control of the midfield and reverse the game.
The AS Saint-Étienne will also unveil its new Third jersey for the 2025-2026 season. This jersey, often synonymous with boldness and modernity, will be officially presented this Friday, August 1st as the Luigi Riva Trophy approaches Cagliari. The club hopes that this disruptive design will attract a younger and more originality-sensitive clientele, while strengthening the link with its community. The Third jersey has become an important lever of visibility and turnover for professional clubs, and ASSE is no exception to the rule. Fans are eager to discover this new piece that will complete the 2025-2026 collection.
