On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, the ANAC women’s team faced FC Ruben in a friendly match at Sainte-Claire Park. The game was not completed, but it already showed great promise, as the players demonstrated discipline and, above all, impressive energy during the first twenty-five minutes of the first half. The two teams parted ways with a scoreless draw (0-0), though the girls were left wanting more.
L’Aigle now officially has a women’s team and is making final adjustments in preparation for its participation in the FHF women’s championship, scheduled for next October. Under the expert guidance of head coach Sophia Batard, the team is gradually taking shape: the players are working hard to refine their technique and master the tactical strategies outlined by their coach.
In the match against FC Ruben on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, determination was evident from the defense through the midfield to the attack. The desire to defend rigorously, organize play, create scoring opportunities in the opponent’s half, and strive for victory was evident across the entire field. This first preseason match thus bodes well for the future.
From now on, the people of Belair no longer rely solely on their men’s team, which they must cheer on in its quest to return to Division 1 so that the Eagle can take flight once again. They also have a women’s team that, although it still has to forge its own path, aspires to follow in the footsteps of a club that holds a unique place in the history of national soccer.
Pride in victory, dignity in defeat. May this motto guide our girls throughout this new and wonderful adventure.
