On Monday, April 13, 2026, the community center hosted a significant meeting. Rostrenen FC showed its originality by organizing a conference on refereeing, an initiative welcomed by the local officials, whose support is essential to the club’s dynamism. Led by vice-president Joris Étourneau, the evening brought together the experience of former international referee Saïd Ennjimi and the youthfulness of Mayeul Prigent (En Avant Guingamp).
Saïd Ennjimi recounted a destiny that began by chance in Limoges: “An referee was needed for the neighborhood stars to play.” This act took him to the top of professional soccer. For him, the whistle is a school of life that shapes character. Having started out in Rostrenen, Mayeul Prigent confirmed that this perspective on the game allows him to acquire an early maturity, developing his sense of responsibility and strong self-confidence.
Dialogue and education
The discussion addressed the issue of incivility among young people. Saïd Ennjimi advocates for education through dialogue and believes the white card is relevant if the coach explains the fault on the bench. The rise of amateur video is also seen as a lever for progressing calmly.
The evening concluded with a question-and-answer game and entertaining anecdotes from Saïd Ennjimi. This highlight serves as a reminder that the future of football will involve better communication. The club thanks the municipality for its support in the success of this event, which highlights the civic education of our athletes.
