The wait is long. Very long. Too long, even, for Olympic Oats Chinon Cinais (AOCC). The Nationale 2 club still cannot line up on the pitch his Senegalese striker Pape Cheick Traoré, the team’s top scorer last year in the league. It has now been five months since the 24-year-old stuck in Dakar. He still doesn’t no residence permit.
However, the AOCC had taken the lead very early. Last June, at the end of the good season which saw the club promoted to the next level, the leaders asked Pape Cheikh Traoré to return to Senegal as quickly as possible to apply for a new visa, because his residence permit was arriving soon. upon expiration.
Conflicting injunctions from the administration
But while other teams in the same situation take only a month to repatriate their players, the AOCC is still in the dark and juggling contradictory injunctions. Sometimes, the French administration assures that the file is complete. Sometimes she asks for more coins. A passport photo here, a copy of the employment contract there. We are currently at the end of November, and the federal contract, a sort of semi-professional contract with a salary, which awaits Pope Cheikh Traoré, is still on the shelf.
“This imbroglio is incomprehensible, plagues the general director of the Avoinais club, Baptiste Guion. We are lugged from administration to administration. This is no longer possible.” He indicates that the AOCC has just referred the appeals commission once morest visa refusal decisions. “We want to be settled once and for all. We also requested an audience with the prefect of Indre-et-Loire three weeks ago, but we did not get a response. Fortunately, the elected officials from China support us.”
“We won’t let go”
Today, the situation penalizes everyone. The club, on the one hand, which is still visible deprived of a player who scored 16 goals last year in Nationale 3. And Pope Cheikh Traoré himself, above all. “It’s very complicated for him to liverecognizes Baptiste Guion. Because he is offered a federal contract, there is a salary waiting for him in France and he remains at the door. But we won’t let him go.”
To support him, the AOCC posted a photo on social networks this Tuesday, November 28. We see his teammates brandishing his jersey in the locker room and showing with one hand the number five, like the number of months of waiting for Pope Cheikh Traoré. “He is patient and tries to stay in shape by training alone in Senegal, explains Baptiste Guion. But it’s not the same as training with a group, playing matches.” Today, his level is secondary. “We’re already hoping to be able to find him, that would be good.”
