While the players of the France team are refining their preparation for the World Cup (from August 25 to September 10 in Indonesia and the Philippines) in Japan, Laurent Foirest has officially launched his adventure with the Metropolitans 92 with a first collective training this Wednesday. To take up the challenge proposed by the leaders of the Mets – who recruited him at the end of July after having threatened for a long time not to leave in Betclic Elite – the former Olympic vice-champion made the sacrifice of the Blues. Assistant to Vincent Collet since 2017 in the France team, Foirest was forced to give up on the World Cup. A difficult but necessary choice.
