Assa Pays du Dropt inaugurated the 5-a-side football field on Saturday May 18, in the presence of club co-president Laurent Beze, from 1er deputy mayor Germain Sauron (mayor Jean-Luc Gardeau being excused), municipal councilors, Emilien Roso president of the Community of Communes of Pays de Lauzun, vice-president of the District of Lot-et-Garonne Florence Broussard , and club managers with 240 members (football school, youth, seniors, veterans).
It was in 2022, after the end of the merger between Assa and the AS Miramont club, that the La Sauvetat-du-Dropt club decided to carry out this project of creating a 5-a-side football field on its own. Assa is the only club in Nouvelle-Aquitaine to carry out this significant project. A challenge for the Sauvetatois club to finalize this land and above all find the financing. The club managers rolled up their sleeves to bring about this equipment which is added to the three grass fields of the Pierre-Périé sports complex, with the support of the municipality, the help of the district of Lot-et-Garonne ( Henri Jobert from the grounds commission and Philippe Lacombe from the sports facilities commission), the Nouvelle-Aquitaine football league and the Community of communes (Jean-Marie Farbos).
Ultra efficient
The cost of creating this beautiful sporting tool amounts to 126,900 euros: the national sports agency and the Amateur Football Aid Fund donated 76,140 euros; the Community of Communes of Lauzun, 10,000 euros; and self-financing from Assa, 40,760 euros, including an exceptional donation of 30,000 euros from a British industrialist whose son is made redundant at Assa. Co-president Laurent Beze warmly thanked this generous donor and the partners. Young footballers now have ultra-high-performance equipment available (18 m by 30 m pitch, with synthetic covering and LED lighting).
