The Club Olympique Castelnaudary is preparing to celebrate its 90 years of existence on Saturday, June 6 at the Pierre-de-Coubertin sports complex. This major event marks nine decades of history for football in Lauragais since the association was created in 1936. The festivities will start at 2 pm with a rich program that will mobilize all municipal facilities to welcome the members and supporters of the club.
The afternoon will be dedicated to sports with friendly matches organized on the complex’s fields. These games will see former players of the club competing in a relaxed and fraternal atmosphere. The leaders also aim to involve young licensed members of the GOAL group in these sports activities. This willingness aims to transform this day into a true intergenerational gathering around the colors of the COC.
The festive dimension of the anniversary will grow in the evening with a cultural rendezvous. A musical aperitif will be offered to participants and animated by the local group Classik’o Jazz. This moment of conviviality is intended to allow different club eras to come together and share memories of the past. The drink of friendship will serve as an ideal transition before the gala dinner planned for the evening.
Thierry Garcia, guest of honor at the banquet The Coubertin gymnasium will then host the official meal of this historic anniversary for Chaurien football. Guests will be able to enjoy a performance by the humorist and imitator Thierry Garcia during this banquet. This former talent from Canal+’s Les Guignols de l’info has a special connection with the association as he was a player of the club in his youth. His presence brings a touch of prestige and nostalgia to this local celebration.
The menu for the evening will pay tribute to local gastronomy with the traditional cassoulet as the main course. Participants will also enjoy a plate of foie gras and a fruit tart for a fixed price of 35 euros per person. The club has planned a supply of red and white wine for each table to accompany this festive meal. Reservations are now open to allow supporters to secure their spot.
The celebration will end with a dance party animated by a well-known figure in the Castelnaudary public. DJ Balpores will return to the turntables to close the event in a festive and rhythmic atmosphere. This comprehensive program illustrates the vitality of the Club Olympique Castelnaudary, which continues to bring the population together after 90 years of activity. The club hopes for a record turnout to honor this sporting milestone that shows no sign of stopping.
