At RFC, we bet on unity.

At Roquecourbe, the senior season hangs by a thread. Engaged in D1 departmental competition, the flagship team is fighting to stay in a challenging championship where every point matters. “We had good results but also defeats in tight matches, especially against Carmaux and Saint-Sulpice. These are the matches that make the situation more complicated,” says Yannick Fabre, the club’s leader.

With a limited roster and a specific context, the goal is clear: to ensure the maintenance of both senior teams. “We have been banned from recruitment for three years due to a refereeing issue, so we have to make do with our resources,” he recalls. An important constraint for a village club, which must operate without external reinforcements.

But at Roquecourbe, hope and stability come from elsewhere. For several seasons, the club has heavily relied on its football school, a true driving force of the project. “It has never had so many participants. A lot of work is being done, and that is what keeps the club going,” emphasizes the leader.

The goal now is to reap the benefits of this investment. “Within two to three years, we should recover about ten young people from the football school to feed the senior teams,” explains Yannick Fabre. An essential transition to sustain the teams and maintain the club’s identity.

At Roquecourbe, the connection between generations is a real strength. “We have a lot of seniors who are involved in the football school. The young people come to watch the matches, and it creates a real relationship.” A virtuous dynamic where everyone finds their place, from the youngest to the most experienced.

Despite limited facilities, which remain a barrier to development, the club continues to attract. “What pleases is the supervision and atmosphere. Even without significant means, word of mouth works. Parents see that their children are having fun,” he continues. Some young people even come from surrounding villages, attracted by this family spirit.

In a town of about 2,000 inhabitants, Roquecourbe proves that a club can exist and grow based on its values. “The idea is to rely on these generations to strengthen our senior teams while maintaining this mindset,” concludes Yannick Fabre.

Between ensuring maintenance and preparing for the future, Roquecourbe advances with a strong conviction: its future is already being built, on its fields, with its young people.
