Périgord: Top French & European Destination

His past performances have also allowed him to be selected for the Babolat international youth tournament, in Strasbourg (at the Nelson-Mandela complex in Schiltigheim, more precisely), from January 30 to February 1. A great opportunity for the young boy, who will face the best national and international badistas in his category.

A superb experience

Accompanied by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine badminton league, Loévan El-Haïk will begin the competition on Friday January 30 at 3 p.m. Engaged there too on all three tables, he will be alongside a player from Occitanie for the doubles and a partner from Charente, whom the young boy knows well, for the mixed. “For this tournament, they take those who have the most points possible,” explains Thomas El-Haïk, Loévan’s father.

This will not be the first time that Périgord has participated in this type of event. “He had already done the one in Talence last summer. He had come across the best French entry, his father smiled. And he was eliminated directly, while hanging on in the first set. » Loévan knows that he is very lucky to be selected for this tournament which will, without a doubt, be a superb experience for the future.
