For the seventh time in its history, US Avranches (Manche, N2) will experience a Coupe de France match overseas. It will be during the 7th round, on the pitch of AS Dragon (R3), in Tahiti, Saturday November 16, 2024. A meeting which did not happen by chance: the USA applied to perpetuate a tradition established since decades by its emblematic president, Gilbert Guérin, who died in October 2023. A match of interest far from being anecdotal.

For the seventh time in its history, US Avranches (Manche, N2) will experience a Coupe de France match overseas. It will be on the occasion of the 7the round, on the lawn of AS Dragon (R3), in Tahiti, on the night of Saturday November 16 to Sunday November 17, 2024, at 1 a.m., metropolitan time. A most exotic meeting which did not happen by chance: the USA applied for such a trip in order to perpetuate a tradition established for decades by its emblematic president, Gilbert Guérin, who died in October 2023. A much more important match than it seems, humanly and sportingly.
