The Men’s teams play the championship of Football Loisir Amateur (FLA). Meanwhile the Women’s teams play the Championnant de Promotion de Ligue and the 7-a-side championship of the french football federation (FFF).

We’re a member of the French Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation (Fédération Sportitive Gay et Lesbienne (FSGL)), and of the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association (IGLFA).

Our values

Respect of difference
Camaraderie and mutual aid between members
Promotion of sex equality

Our goal is to use football practice as a tool to prevent not only homophobia but also violence, racism and sexism.

We’re involved in the fight against discriminations with the FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) network and each year the club promotes  activites aimed at supporting equality and fight against all kinds of discriminations.
