The AS Saint-Étienne is going through an intense period with a busy schedule including matches in Ligue 2, the Ligue 2 BKT and the national championships, as well as meetings for women’s teams in D1 Arkema. The week of September 22-28 is particularly rich in events, with crucial matches in Ligue 2 against Amiens and Guingamp, as well as a confrontation against Paris FC in D1 Arkema. The club also organizes public training sessions, press conferences and guided tours of the stadium. At the same time, young talent, especially the U19, have an important match against the Olympique de Marseille. This week is therefore a mixture of efforts on the ground, activities for fans and moments of sharing around the club.

A major change marked the club with Roland Romeyer’s withdrawal from office following a judicial investigation into allegations of gender-based harassment. Romeyer, emblematic figure of the ASSE for two decades, lost his honorary mandates and access to the club’s facilities. This situation comes after signs of gradual expulsion and underscores a new era for ASSE, far from the Romeyer era. The General Assembly of ASSE Coeur-Vert, scheduled for October, will determine the new president, with the clear intention not to appoint a representative from the old team.

Apart from behind the scenes, Lucas Staasinvit, the Belgian striker, has a promising start to the season, marked by decisive goals and an affirmation as a major asset for the club’s rise. Its summer was tumultuous, with many rumors of transfer and constant pressure from mercato. His father testifies to the negative impact of this situation on the player, who made the decision to refocus on the ASSE and fully invest for the season. Staasinvit, now number 9, is determined to contribute to the rise of ASSE in Ligue 1, even to the detriment of its own individual statistics.
