The musicians of the Bagad Sonerien Bro Dreger from Perros-Guirec will not be the only ones from Trégor to parade on New York’s 5th AvenueMarch 17, 2025. With them, there will be more than twenty other Trégorrois, who will have one thing in common, the US Perros Louannec football club.
A partner club for professionals
“It’s once in a lifetime”reacts Dominique Colas.
Three years ago, he created the USPL partner club :
“They are sponsors. In the steering committee, everyone already had a network but it was limited. I suggested expanding it with people they didn’t know. »
60 companies support (bars, restaurants, hotels, businesses, car dealerships, etc.) and sponsor the club via donations, which can be used in particular to provide equipment (jerseys, water bottle holders, cups, etc.).
Unifying and memorable events
But the partnership doesn’t stop there:
“I organize actions and events in which they can participate. Recently, we went to see Taratata in Bercy for its 40th anniversary, and we have a box at Vieilles Charrues where sponsors can accompany us as a VIP. »
These are also events linked to sport, such as a rugby match at the Stade de France, a football match the NBA in New Yorkmatches of the French football team in Edinburgh, Manchester, or PSG in Barcelona.
These actions sometimes make dreams come true, like for little Milo, who was able to attend a soccer match. the French team during the Euro in Germany.
A week in the Big Apple
An upcoming event is already on the 2025 calendar: St. Patrick’s Day in New York.
From March 13 to 19more than twenty people will fly for a week to the United States to attend one of the most emblematic festivals in English-speaking countries.
More than that, they will not only attend, but also participate, since they will parade along 5th avenue with the Perrosian bagad, Sonerien Bro Dreger.
“They were the ones who asked us to come with them. They wanted other people to benefit from Trégor. »
First authorized for a group of 15 people, they will finally be 25 to wander among the 200,000 participants, and 2 million spectators.
Everyone is linked to the USPL club, whether they are players, volunteers, partners, or supporters:
“It would have been hard if the supporters couldn’t march, they come to support the teams every Sunday. This is a first for many, some have said that if they don’t come with the USPL, they will never go to New York. »
This trip will appear in the souvenir album of the football club and the partner club, among the many other souvenirs made by Dominique Colas, accompanied byEtienne Fomelalternating.
