This Sunday, December 22, 2024 is marked with a hot iron in the history of Union Saint-Jean FC. The resident of Regional 1 challenged AS Monaco in the 32nd finals of French Cup in Toulouse Stadium very noisy. The supporters, who came in large numbers, responded to the club's call to make the purple den vibrate.

The procession disrupted by the rain

In the pouring rain, many supporters gathered at the Saint-Miche metro station. The football fans set off towards the Stadium, with in mind, the hope of a miracle. Unfortunately, the weather conditions deprived the supporters of a real party on the stadium square. Forced to take shelter, they still came together with “Cha la la la la, aller L’Union”, before entering the Stadium grounds on Ramier Island.

The Taton bend on fire

The time of 90 minutes, the turn of the Toulouse Stadium has turned red and black (club colors, Editor’s note). From the warm-up, the TéFéCé neighbors cheered each of the players like football stars. The sun even came out as they left the locker room.

The kop led by Hugo Aused, managed to guide the thousands of voices that rose from the Brice Taton bend when the composition was announced. The group of supporters held up a banner for the occasion: Royalty, principality… The Union Saint-Jean in majesty» which dominated the bottom corner accompanied by a tifo taking up the club's crest.
