The next generation of Paris Saint-Germain shines with their eloquence at the Elysee

Monday, June 5, the two winners of the internal rhetoric competition of the Parisian club’s training center went to the Elysee, for the national final, in the company of their colleagues. Noah Cousin won first prize in the “Coup de coeur” category and Isaac Mensah won second prize in the “Laureate” category.

By winning the in-house competition for their rhetoric against discrimination, midfielder Isaac Mensah and goalkeeper Noah Cousin represented Paris Saint-Germain in the national final organized by Prometheus Education.

The young representatives of the club carried out their pleadings before the President of the Republic and the arbitral tribunal.
