Franco-Polish, but Polish international during his Football career, Ludovic Obraniak is preparing to put on his boots again under the tricolor banner for the six-a-side World Cup.
Football is a unifying sport, regardless of the number of players on the field. From November 27 to December 7, in Oman, fifteen players will defend the colors of France during the Socca World Cup, i.e. 6-a-side football, including Djibril Cissé (43 years old) and Ludovic Obraniak (40 years old ), former LOSC player. The two former glories and their teammates will try to do better than the last quarter-final obtained in Germany during the last edition.
But where does this new fad come from? About a year ago, Ludovic Obraniak and Djibril Cissé were piqued on social networks by seeing videos and announcements about this competition scheduled for 2024. The technical staff of the French team did not fail to seize the opportunity and contacted them. The consultant and current coach of the AJ Auxerre attackers then took up the game and launched this challenge. They will both participate, under the tricolor banner, in the Socca World Cup.
“I needed a challenge, I’ve been vegetating for too long”
“I'm only hiding from you these last five years, since I stopped my career, frankly life is hard almost every dayLudovic Obraniak recently confided on the antennas of The Team Channel. When you come out of a wave that carried you for so many years with the adrenaline and everything that goes with it, like living in a group. It happened a bit by chance, but we have the opportunity to experience this adventure thanks to the staff of the France team. I personally needed a challenge. I had been vegetating for too long. I needed to try something. It's a personal challenge. Time will tell if it was a good idea or not.”launched the former LOSC player (2007-12).
