The mascot
The club's mascot, the lion Akae, will be split this Saturday, November 16. In town, with Dacquois supporters in the various establishments which will broadcast the match, but also at the Jean-Dauger stadium. This could be his last performance before a new skin. The club is currently surveying its subscribers to find a new costumed standard bearer. For now, three lines of thought: the mascot remains a lion, becomes a bull or a Roman-type character.
