Stade Niçois will make its debut in Federal 2 this Sunday at 3 PM at the Arboras Stadium against Saint Savin Sportif. A first home game not to be missed.
For their first match of the season, the red and black team will face a tough opponent since St Savin finished the preliminary phase in 2nd place before being eliminated in the round of 16 by Grasse…
The Nice team, coached this season by Gilbert Doucet, Ludovic Chambriard, and Jean-François Depresle, will be eager to start this new competition in the best possible way against a contender for the final stages qualification.
For Tony Catoni, president of the club, the final objective is clear: “to make Nice a stronghold of French rugby, having a professional structure within 3 years with the medium-term goal of competing at the top of Federal 1.”
Stade Niçois in a few figures (season 2013-2014):
Total number of licensed members: 530 including rugby school: 270, cadets 60, juniors 50, seniors 70
