History

Gaëtan Deneuve is a former professional football player, now 39 years old. Trained in Le Havre, this former goalkeeper notably played for Châteauroux and Stade Brestois. He ended his career in 2018 with Bourg-en-Bresse.

This season, Gaëtan Deneuve notably refereed six National 2 matches and one National 3 match. He also refereed a Coupe de France match between
Saint-Lô et Dives last November 16. He was finally a substitute referee in Ligue 2 for
Martigues – Dunkirk et Metz – Caen.

In the National 2 meetings that he led, three concerned our group B. He was whistled by
Saint-Colomban Locminé – Saumur (2nd day, 2-0), Dinan-Léhon – Saint-Pryvé (8th day, 0-4) and Stade Briochin – Stade Poitevin (9th day, 1-2). In these three matches, he distributed 10 yellow cards.

In his career, he was notably able to referee:

• 6 Coupe de France matches
• 2 National matches
• 70 National 2 matches
• 11 National 3 matches

He never refereed the Girondins de Bordeaux. This will therefore be a first for the former player.
