Pont-de-Larn highlights its young sporting talents: Maxime Zahil and Enzo Calvayrac, trained in local clubs, stand out in the Coupe de France.
Pont-de-Larn, a municipality with the Active and Sports City label, continues to demonstrate its dynamism and commitment to the training of its young sporting talents. Two of his former protégés, Maxime Zahil and Enzo Calvayrac, recently distinguished themselves in one of the most prestigious competitions in French football: the Coupe de France.
Last year, Maxime Zahil, in the colors of Revel, had the honor of crossing paths with Paris Saint-Germain led by Kylian Mbappé. An unforgettable memory for this young player, trained in the local clubs of JSP, JSPM and FCPM, who flies the colors of his hometown. This year, it's Enzo Calvayrac's turn to shine. The young player from Union Saint-Jean is preparing to face AS Monaco, one of the most successful clubs in the French elite, in the round of 32 in Toulouse.
What do these two young athletes have in common? Their journey begins in Pont-de-Larn, where the quality of sports training is well established. Local clubs, such as JSP, JSPM and FCPM, play a key role in supporting and developing young talents. This sporting success is also the fruit of municipal efforts to provide modern infrastructure and competent supervision, from a very young age.
Investment in sport is not limited to football. Pont-de-Larn also excels in other disciplines such as figure skating and judo, where young hopefuls are already distinguishing themselves. This success can be explained by an ambitious sports policy which allows every child in the town to have access to varied and quality sports activities, from primary school onwards.
Pont-de-Larn embodies the example of a town where sport is much more than a leisure activity: it is a real springboard for the future. By offering an environment conducive to development, combining adapted infrastructure, quality supervision and encouragement of local talents, the town allows its young people to dream big and rise among the elite.
With talents that emerge regularly and a town that continues to place sport at the heart of its priorities, Pont-de-Larn confirms its place as a real breeding ground for promising athletes. The 32nd finals of the Coupe de France will undoubtedly be followed with particular attention by the inhabitants, proud to see their young people shine on the national scene.
