Girondins de Bordeaux: "Potential for global influence is considerable" (F. Longuépée, president)

"FC Girondins de Bordeaux (Ligue 1 Conforama) is one of the oldest clubs in Europe and boasts a rich list of major titles. It is also named after a city celebrated around the world for its beauty, history and the vineyards that are its most famous ambassadors globally. The potential for global influence is considerable at a time when the evolution of our sport is witnessing the opening of new continents: North America and Asia first and foremost," said Frédéric Longuépée, president of the Bordeaux football club, to News Tank Football on 16/05/2019.
