Daniel Vaquero

  • Since Monday, amateur clubs can no longer have access to their structures.

  • Loïc Cambérou, manager and leader in Gironde, recorded a video to express his fed up and launched the hashtag #Tuepasmonclub.

  • Since Sunday evening, she has been relayed on social networks by many players, coaches and managers who recognize themselves in her words.

Loïc Camberrou is preparing to draw the lines of his handball field on grass on Wednesday.

Yes, yes, this is not a joke.

Since Monday, the manager of the Arcachon / La Teste handball club like all Girondin sports leaders no longer has access to his room due to a decree from the prefecture: "I ask them to make an effort over 15 days », Explained Fabienne Buccio.

The prefect does not intend to give an exemption to clubs whether they are amateurs or even professionals.

A decision which brought out of its hinges the one who is also the federal handball technical advisor for the Gironde committee.

So he did something he never does.

He posted a video of about ten minutes on social networks to express his anger and questioned all the authorities up to the President of the Republic.

A video today massively relayed by many players in amateur sport who can be found in his remarks, as Loïc Cambérou explains to

20 Minutes.

How did you come up with the idea for this video?

I was chatting on my sofa with several club presidents who told me about their difficulties.

I was looking for a solution to make us heard.

Express this general dissatisfaction!

If my video is used so much, it's because I relayed everyone's anger with this hashtag #Tuepasmonclub.

Is the situation that bad?

It's simple, it was already complicated since the release of deconfinement because without money, we had to invest in equipment (masks, gels, disinfectants).

We were barely starting to stabilize, to be organized.

Today, the clubs no longer work.

Some are on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.

They are more and more in difficulty.

The town halls can no longer finance them at 50% as in the past.

Sponsors don't run the streets.

We are all looking for solutions.

This cessation of activity will kill sports associations.

We don't even have the refreshments to bring in a little money.

Were you able to talk to the prefect?

Not at all !

She refuses to receive the presidents of the departmental committees.

There was absolutely no consultation.

It's incomprehensible.

We're just asking for a little consideration.

The elites must listen to us.

Why, we didn't even go in camera?

You also speak of two weights, two measures ...

Yes, because this summer we let people do anything and everything in the Arcachon Bay, for example.

I am in a good position to know that.

With restaurants, bars packed and today, people come to tell us that we are more dangerous than them and that everything must be closed.

We can't agree with that!

There are really two weights, two measures.

And then today, we have the right to play sports at 35 schoolchildren in a gymnasium but not at 12 members of a sports club?

There is no logic.

Do you have any solutions ?

Already, I repeat, why did not we go through a closed-door phase?

After, of course, we have to adapt and we are already doing it a lot.

I don't moan to moan.

We will have to help us and quickly.

It doesn't matter what we think about it, but parents are already asking us to reimburse their child's license.

How do we do it?

I propose to the President of the Republic a tax deduction on licenses to maintain them in our clubs.

It is a very important windfall for French sport.
