This is what we call a baptism of fire. For the first Top 12 match in their history, the Caen Conquerors will travel to Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône) on Saturday October 5, 2024. They will face the Popov brothers, two of the best French playersranked 19th and 27th in the world.
The best
Just a few months ago, Toma Junior (25 years old) and Cristo Popov (22 years old) were lined up in doubles at the Paris Olympic Games. The eldest even reached the round of 16 of the men’s singles tournament. A first for a Frenchman since 1992! The Conquerors will therefore have to face them the cream of French badminton. In Paris, Toma Junior eliminated Anthony Ginting (Indonesia), then ranked 7th in the world. A true performance that places the ambitions of the young man. His younger brother is not left out. Triple champion of France since 2020Cristo won the German Open last March, his first victory on the senior international circuit.
While the Conquerors are already assured of survival after the general forfeit of Arras, the pressure of the result is gone. There remains the pleasure of facing such players and the experience that this opposition will bring to the whole group.
