Paris well represented with the U20s!
From 19 July to the final on 29 July, France's U20 team will take part in the 2018 Men's European Championship in Celje, Slovenia. Numerous Parisians have been included in the France squad.
Four Parisians have been included in the squad, with some of them, like Dylan Nahi, already having signed a professional contract with the capital club, used to playing at the highest level. The Parisian left winger has made several appearances with the senior team, scoring plenty of goals. He will be accompanied by his right wing counterpart Edouard Kempf, who has also had his moments with the senior team, notably coming on to great effect against Veszprém in the Velux EHF Champions League in November.
France's U20 coach Yohann Delattre will also be counting on two pillars of our reserve team, who managed to beat the drop in the National 1 in their first season at that level: 'keeper Gauthier Ivah (called up as 17th man) and Robin Dourte. Our pivot is no stranger to success with our youth-level sides, having been crowned an U19 World Champion last year in Georgia, along with Edouard and Dylan.
