Player ratings24 Aug 2026
A brace, and Vincent Marcel takes the afternoon — 8.19
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vincent Marcel provided it, and the 8.19 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

FC Villefranche say no — this time
The offer from Gazelle Garoua for Tailan Matip Ngom was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Market24 Aug 2026
Enzo Mongo is a FC Villefranche player
The fee is $280.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. FC Nantes drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Tempers go at FC Villefranche
Loïc Etoga was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match22 Aug 2026
FC Villefranche see off Valenciennes
Three points for FC Villefranche, 3‑2 the final word against Valenciennes in a contest settled by the finer margins.

$450.0K for Sacha Viel, and FC Villefranche supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Sacha Viel from Stade Brestois for $450.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Door shut on Nahuel da Silva
FC Villefranche asked and Montevideo City Torque said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Words at FC Villefranche training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mathis Touho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Market24 Aug 2026
A long bet from FC Villefranche on Sacha Viel
He is 19, and nobody at FC Villefranche signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
- Transfer targets A loan move for Juninho is in the works
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
- Squad The formation has left Enzo Mongo behind
