Thierry Cenatiempo talks about NO’s finances, Pablo Martinez out for two matches, team updates for OAC, and Gardois in the French Cup final.
Nîmes Olympique
“Opening up capital is entirely possible.” In response to recent information suggesting a disagreement between potential shareholders and the management, NO’s president provided clarification. “For three weeks now, we have been inviting business leaders who supported us last summer. They are all invited this Saturday to the Antonins Stadium for a meeting where I will present the club’s project for the next three years and how these companies can continue to support the club’s project. Especially through a capital increase, and opening up capital is entirely possible,” explained Thiery Cenatiempo. The Nîmes leaders have been working on the 2026-27 budget since January, with only a small difference between the two scenarios considered.
Pablo Martinez will miss Saint-Maur and Hyères. Injured on Saturday night with a finger injury, Pablo Martinez will be sidelined for two weeks. This means he will miss the upcoming matches against Saint-Maur and Hyères. The remainder of the team is preparing for the upcoming games, with only Estéban Alberto resting due to a knee inflammation from a previous injury.
Olympique d’Alès en Cévennes
Taking stock of the squad. After a three-day break, OAC resumed training with only 16 players present. The coaching staff is managing injuries and individual training programs. Uygar Barut suffered a setback in his recovery, adding uncertainty to the team’s lineup for the upcoming matches.
District Football Gard-Lozère
Gardois in the French Cup final. On May 22nd, the final of the Coupe de France will take place at the Stade de France. Although no teams from Gard will be participating, the Gard-Lozère district will be hosting eight volunteers to witness the event. These volunteers, with over seven years of experience, will be recognized in a ceremony at the district’s headquarters.
Rugby Club Cévenol
Heartbreaking defeat. Despite a valiant effort, Rugby Club Cévenol narrowly lost in the playoffs last weekend. The team showed resilience and determination, nearly upsetting the favorites. The coaching staff praised the team’s performance and spirit, looking ahead to the upcoming championship matches.
