The French Volleyball team has chosen Saint-Nazaire to fine-tune its training for the Olympic Games. The players will be based at La Soucoupe for a little over 2 weeks. Hosted by the City and the SNVBA club, the team will offer the public a demonstration of its game on Thursday, July 11 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. A reservation is required to attend.
Saint-Nazaire at Olympic time
The people of Saint-Nazaire had already had the chance to welcome the French Volleyball team in 2016 and 2019, so it is on familiar ground that the players will come in a few days, trained by Andrea Giani, who himself played 5 Olympics for Italy during his playing career. The first qualifiers are then scheduled for Saturday, July 27 at the Arena Paris Sud, and during the first preliminary phase the French will face Slovenia, Canada and Serbia. Registration (free) to attend their training will open this Monday, July 1 at 5 p.m. To accompany this event, the SNVBA, reigning French Champion, will also offer a free discovery of volleyball (by reservation from Monday 1 at 5 p.m.) on Monday, July 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesday, July 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The meeting will take place on the athletics track next to the Soucoupe.
