ASSE has favoured the development of its young talent in the last season, granting loans to several players. Although these experiences in National 2 have not yet led to significant integration into the Ligue 2 team, they have given the club a better understanding of the needs and personal situations of these young people. For the current season, the club has recorded only one loan: that of attacker Enzo Mayilla, trained at the Forez. This young player, who extended his contract with the ASSE until 2028, will evolve with the Aubagne FC, National resident, after having spent a training period with the SC Aubagne AB. Despite a recent knee injury that took him away from the championship debut, Mayilla returned and made a promising first appearance, contributing to his team’s victory over Villefranche.

The ASSE season begins on an encouraging note with a historic record: 20,000 home game subscribers. This figure shows the exceptional loyalty of the Stéphanois supporters, even in Ligue 2, and is perceived by the players as a source of motivation and responsibility. Aïmen Moueffek, a midfielder trained at ASSE, stresses the importance of making the public fervor and delivering a performance that meets their expectations. He is aware of the particular atmosphere around the club and wishes to pass it on to newcomers, stressing the usefulness of this popular support for home matches.

As the match against Rodez approaches, ASSE’s main goal is to thank its supporters with a victory. Players are confident because of the work done in training and the conviction that they can impose their game before a large and enthusiastic audience. Aïmen Moueffek is convinced that the support of the 20,000 subscribers can play a decisive role in this meeting and wishes to strengthen the link between the club and its supporters so that they can go back with a smile.
