Stadium Rituals

Traditionally, fans would gather in local cafés before the match, discussing the latest gossip and predictions about the lineup. The journey to the stadium is often marked by singing and chants that have been passed down through generations. Once in the stadium, the euphoria begins with the famous chant "Loups, Loups, Loups!", reverberating off the walls and giving the players an extra boost.
