Corsica’s “football entreprise” select team—an island all-star squad drawn from workplace and company clubs—is traveling to Bordeaux to represent the Mediterranean French region at the UNFE/FFF national tournament on Saturday, June 13.
The team will face what organizers describe as the top sides in the category from across France, with Corsica aiming for a strong run and a showing that reflects well on the island’s corporate soccer scene.
The roster was finalized after a tightly run selection process. In recent weeks, the technical staff held two scouting sessions to evaluate a wide pool of players from Corsican clubs, weighing experience, technical level and mindset in each decision.
A four-man staff will run the bench in Bordeaux
The delegation will be led by a four-person staff: Pietri, Neiva Da Rocha, Nesi and Agostini. Their role is to prepare the group in the best possible conditions and manage the team throughout the tournament.
Beyond results, the Corsican selection is being framed as a showcase for the broader local pipeline. Players from the island will measure themselves against other French regions in a competition that also emphasizes camaraderie and sharing.
Corsican Football League provides logistical support
As it did last year, the Ligue corse de football—the regional governing body for the sport in Corsica—has backed the trip’s organization, providing logistical support and ongoing assistance to the corporate soccer program.
That national-level appearance, the article notes, is a reward for the day-to-day commitment of players, coaches and club officials who keep the sport going on the island.
More than a tournament, a statement for Corsica’s corporate game
The group is heading to Bordeaux with ambitions of a deep run, but also with the sense it is carrying something bigger than a single result. Corsican corporate soccer will be on display, comparing itself—and trying to hold its own—against other French regions gathered for the event.
On June 13, attention from back home will be fixed on the Gironde department, where Bordeaux is located.
