Ludovic Fabregas succeeds Luka Karabatic as captain of the France team

Fabregas had already worn the interim armband

“It was a desire on my partconfirmed the younger brother of Nikola Karabatic, retired since the end of the Paris Olympic Games last summer. Four years (until the 2028 Olympics), It's a lot, I can't project myself that far. This is why I decided to do this transfer. I got old at the start of the course, many emblematic players stopped (his brother, Valentin Porte, Vincent Gérard). I have the role of elder, which can be sufficient in itself. I'm happy to pass this on to Ludovic, he is ready for this role and I know the captaincy will be in good hands. »
